In the FIFA World Cup group stage match held early this morning, England defeated Croatia 4-2. Kane opened the scoring with a penalty before adding a second goal with a header from a corner.

According to statistics, since the 2018 FIFA World Cup, 14 of England's 29 goals in the tournament have come from set pieces (including penalties). Over the same period, their goals from corner kicks (6 goals) are twice as many as those of any other team.

In this match, Kane converted a penalty after his initial shot was saved. Baturina equalized with a stunning long-range strike before Kane added a second with a header. Musa then brought Croatia level again. In the second half, Bellingham scored after a solo run, and Rashford came off the bench to seal England's 4-2 victory.
