England defeated Croatia 2-1 at Wembley to secure a Nations League quarterfinal place. Harry Kane scored the winning penalty on his record-breaking 126th appearance, overtaking Peter Shilton’s previous senior men’s England mark of 125 caps.
Morgan Rogers opened the scoring in the 24th minute before Petar Sučić equalised after Jarell Quansah’s defensive mistake. Kane converted a penalty in the 64th minute after Ivan Smolčić held Quansah, securing England’s progression despite late Croatian pressure.
Why It Matters
