Harry Kane scored two goals to equal England's all-time record for World Cup goals as England defeated Croatia 4-2 in a hard-fought match. The game, a rematch of the 2018 semifinal, saw Jude Bellingham also find the back of the net, contributing to England's offensive effort.
Croatia responded with goals from Petar Musa and Martin Baturina, with Musa's strike coming just before halftime to briefly narrow the gap. Despite their efforts, Croatia could not overcome England's lead, and the final score stood at 4-2 in favor of England.
