England beat Croatia with 2 goals: Harry Kane broke the 36-year-old record

England made a sluggish start compared to the first match, when they won 7-0 against Croatia at Wembley Stadium. The home team, retreating to their own half, got the ball in the opponent's penalty area for the first time in the 18th minute, and opened the lock with a fine pass from captain Harry Kane in the 24th minute.

Jude Bellingham, who met the ball on the right side of the penalty area after Kane had passed it behind the defense, took it inside without waiting. Morgan Rogers put the ball into the net, which Gvardiol could not clear: 1-0.

Slaven Bilic's students equalized in the 59th minute. In the corner shot taken from the right side, when Jarell Quansah's header, which he wanted to send to goalkeeper Jordan Pickford in the penalty area, was missed, Petar Sucic intervened and put the ball into the net: 1-1.

The home team's response to this goal was quick. Danish referee Morten Krogh, who continued the game after Quansah fell down in the penalty area in the 63rd minute, showed the penalty point after VAR review. Taking control of the ball in the 64th minute, Kane put his team ahead 2-1.

Maintaining the score in the remaining period and getting its 4th victory in the Nations League, England ranked second in its group with 12 points. The guest team, which suffered its 4th defeat, is in 3rd place with 3 points.

KANE BREAKED GOALKEEPER SHILTON'S RECORD

Captain Harry Kane played for the England National Team for the 126th time against Croatia, breaking the 36-year-old record held by goalkeeper Peter Shilton.

A ceremony was held before the match for 33-year-old Harry Kane, who won the Ballon d'Or award last month.

Prince William presented Kane with a jersey with the number 126 on it.

Croatia captain and former Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric gave Kane a specially produced replica of the first football ball brought to Croatia, prepared by his country's federation.

Kane increased the number of goals he scored in the national jersey against Croatia to 92. The closest name to the 33-year-old football player who is at the top in this field is Wayne Rooney with 53 goals.
