A disappointing end for Senegal and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, who both had their opponents on the ropes before seeing their World Cup dreams evaporate.
After threatening to pull of one of biggest upsets of the 2026 World Cup, DR Congo crashed out of the tournament on Wednesday after a 2-1 loss to England.
Harry Kane saved England from an early exit from with two second-half goals in a in the round of 32 in Atlanta.
His first goal came in the 75th minute. Substitute Anthony Gordon lifted a cross from the left and despite Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi getting a hand to Kane’s header, he didn't stop it from nestling into the bottom corner.
Eleven minutes later, Kane sent his shot into the top corner to put the thoughts of an upset to rest.
