England beat Panama 2-0, Bellingham and Kane take center stage

After an hour of fighting on the pitch, England finally breaks the Panama defense and wins 2-0 at MetLife Stadium. The hero of the match was Jude Bellingham, who first took the lead for the English and then assisted Harry Kane's historic goal. The strike made Kane England's top scorer in World Cup history with 11 goals, overtaking the previous record holder, Gary Lineker.  The match started with difficult moments for the English, who were unable to find a way to defend Panama solidly during the first half. Only after the break, Bellingham broke the deadlock, taking advantage of the confusion in the opponents' penalty area. Shortly afterwards, after a perfect move, he set up the situation for Kane, who headed the ball into the net. Despite the victory, England has to struggle with personnel problems because Jarell Quansah was injured, which is another weakening of the right-back position. Having secured first place in the group, England now waits for an opponent in the knockout stage, which could be Senegal or the Democratic Republic of Congo. --- ## Related Articles 1.
