England defeat DR Congo 2-1 in their Round of 32 match in Atlanta on Wednesday, with Harry Kane scoring two goals. The match is described as turning in England’s favor after the break, as Kane finds the net in the second half to help secure the win. England’s progress is completed when they score late enough to overcome DR Congo’s resistance and take the match by a single goal margin.
One report also notes commentary suggesting Kane could be overlooked for the Ballon d’Or, even though he has delivered a standout performance in the tournament context. The coverage ties the discussion of individual awards directly to Kane’s current form, but does not provide competing voting figures or additional award criteria. Overall, the reports agree on the match result, venue and timing, and the decisive role of Kane’s brace, while framing the Ballon d’Or remark as outside analysis rather than a confirmed outcome.
