Harry Kane made history on Saturday, June 27, 2026, by scoring his ninth World Cup goal in England's Group L finale against Panama at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The goal came in the 67th minute, breaking the previous record held by Gary Lineker, who scored six goals in World Cup tournaments.
Kane's milestone goal came shortly after Jude Bellingham opened the scoring for England. The match was part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is being co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. England entered the match already qualified for the knockout stage.
Kane, who also serves as England's captain, has been a key player for the national team since his debut in 2015. His World Cup goals include four from the 2018 tournament in Russia, where he won the Golden Boot, and two from the 2022 tournament in Qatar.
