Here’s the latest update from the 2026 FIFA World Cup as of 2026-06-28 01:38:00.
Harry Kane has etched his name in history as England’s all-time World Cup leading scorer, netting a crucial goal in Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Panama at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. This match helped England advance to the knockout stage as group winners, with Jude Bellingham also contributing a goal.
Kane Breaks Record
Kane scored his record-breaking goal on a cross from Bellingham, marking his 11th World Cup goal, surpassing Gary Lineker’s previous record for England men. In total, Kane has achieved 18 goals in major international tournaments for his country.
“It is a proud one for sure,” Kane shared with the BBC. “I spoke before the tournament about the World Cup being the biggest competition we play as professional footballers, so to get to 11 goals is a proud feeling. I just want to enjoy this moment with the team.”
Milestone Achievements
Previously, Kane had tied Lineker’s record by scoring twice in their World Cup opener against Croatia, a match that ended 4-2 in favor of England. The England captain has also matched Jurgen Klinsmann with 82 international goals and equaled Sandor Kocsis with 11 World Cup goals.
Bellingham praised Kane, stating, “He’s the best England player of all time; he’s the one who’s showed up more than anyone.” Kane’s talent has been evident throughout the tournament, and he continues to prove invaluable to the team.
Kane won the Golden Boot in the 2018 World Cup while scoring six goals during England’s semifinal run. He added to his tally in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, scoring two goals but missing a crucial penalty in the quarterfinal. He aims to become the first player to win the Golden Boot twice, currently sitting two goals behind Lionel Messi’s five.
Looking ahead, Kane’s latest milestone comes after a stellar season at Bayern Munich, where he has scored 70 goals in total this season. With England topping their group, they will face a third-place team from Group I or K, likely Senegal or Congo DR, in the round of 32 in Atlanta on Wednesday.
