“When England needs a hero, they look to one man; the best striker they’ve had in the 21st century and the current best striker on the planet: Harry Kane. It was not looking good for the Three Lions. I had a Gareth Southgate apology form written out for this rating, but Harry Kane saves the day. If not for him, English supporters would’ve been squirming and begging for Southgate to return. I don’t want to overshadow a great effort from DR Congo. They managed to strike first thanks to Cipenga being left all alone, which gave him just enough time to blast the ball into the bottom corner. England got more chances after that goal, but each and everyone was turned away by the magnificent Mpasi who seemed like he was having the game of his life. A couple incredible saves kept the game 1-0 at halftime. England remained on the attack, but it wasn’t until they quickened their pace that they began to do damage. All it took was two powerful lasers for Kane to turn anguish into a tsunami of relief.”
