England's Kane seals record as team clinches Nations League spot

Inglaterra secured three points in the Nations League Liga as the English Team beat Croatia 2‑1 at Wembley, sealing qualification for the next phase. The match also marked Harry Kane’s 126th appearance for his country.

The win lifted England to 12 points, leaving them three behind Grupo A3 leaders Espanha. Croatia remain on three points and will contest the relegation playoffs.

In the next round England meet Espanha on Sunday the 15th at 16:45 Brasília time in the Metropolitano de Madrid. Croatia travel to the Opus Arena to face the Czech Republic, and supporters can Leia more details later.

Kane sets England appearance record

Before kickoff the crowd honoured Harry Kane for reaching 126 caps, making him the most‑capped England outfield player. He overtook Peter Shilton’s 125‑match record that stood from 1970 to 1990.

The opening twenty minutes produced few chances, but in the 23rd minute Kane released Jude Bellingham, whose pass slipped under Vlasic and Gvardiol, allowing Morgan Rogers to tap home the opening goal. Croatia’s best chance came from Luka Kovacic, whose long‑range effort was comfortably saved by Pickford.

After the break Kane combined with Declan Rice to find Rogers, who struck again, only for Stanisic to make the save. A corner by Baturina found Dejan Gvardiol, whose header was cleared by Quansah but fell to Ante Sucic, who levelled for Croatia.

Quansah then appealed for a penalty after a Smolcic challenge, the VAR confirmed the decision and Kane stepped up, converting to restore England’s advantage. The English Team later thought they had extended the lead when Garner received a pass from Bellingham and scored, but the referee ruled the build‑up offside.

Croatian attempts from Josip Pasalic and Budimir were thwarted by Pickford and the defence. England will look to build on the win when they face Espanha next week.
