England have advanced to the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup, overcoming Panama's challenge. England defeated Panama 2-0 at MetLife Stadium in New York on Sunday morning.
England have 7 points from Group L. Croatia and Ghana have also entered the second round with 4 points each. Croatia defeated Ghana 2-1 in the match held in Philadelphia. England's potential opponent in the last 32 will be Senegal.
Panama did not score a goal in this World Cup. But playing defensively, they posed a big challenge to England in the one-hour match. England broke the goal drought in the 62nd minute, when Jude Bellingham scored from Bukayo Saka's cross. Five minutes later, captain Harry Kane scored the second goal. Kane headed in Bellingham's cross.
This was his third goal in this World Cup. He has now reached his 11th goal in World Cup history. Kane also surpassed Gary Lineker's record of scoring the most goals for England in a World Cup with 10.
England defeated Croatia 4-2 in their first match in Dallas. But the team then reached the knockout stage despite being held to a goalless draw by Ghana.
