Match-winner Kane continues his record, while Spain's streak lives on

At London's Wembley Stadium, the 33‑year‑old Harry Kane of Bayern Munich put on a true gala: two goals and an assist led England to their third win in the Nations League and made him the match‑winner of the evening.

The appearance was his 125th for the Three Lions, a milestone he reached 36 years after Peter Shilton's last appearance. This puts him side by side with the goalkeeper legend.

Kane's Club and National Record List

As a striker for Bayern Munich, Kane already comes into the match with 89 caps and 89 goals, after he took over Wayne Rooney's record in 2023. His club affiliation with Bayern Munich underscores his quality at club level.

In the game itself, he scored in the 40th minute to make it 2:0 and in the 57th minute to make it 3:0. Additionally, he was involved in the first goal, as his cross led to an own goal by Vladimir Coufal.
