In their final Group L fixture at the 2026 World Cup, England beat Panama 2-0 at the New York New Jersey Stadium to advance to the knockout stage as group winners. Panama’s packed defence frustrated the Three Lions throughout a goalless first half, but England broke through on 62 minutes when Jude Bellingham met a Bukayo Saka corner and drilled a left-footed finish into the net from the centre of the box. Just five minutes later, on 67 minutes, Harry Kane headed home Bellingham’s cross to make it 2-0. The goal carried extra weight: it was Kane’s 11th at World Cups, taking him past Gary Lineker as England’s all-time leading World Cup scorer. There were no red cards, VAR reversals or penalties of note in the match.<\/p>\n

The win saw England finish above Croatia and others to top Group L, securing a more favourable knockout route and avoiding some of the tournament’s heavyweights, while Panama were eliminated. Next up, England face DR Congo in the Round of 32 on Wednesday, 1 July at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, with the Congolese having reached the last 32 as the best of the eight third-placed sides.
