England’s World Cup quarterfinal loss to France on Saturday will go down as a day filled with triumph and heartache for Harry Kane, as the star forward both made history and narrowly missed out on the chance to send his country to the semifinals.
With France leading 1-0 early on, Kane netted a 54th-minute penalty kick to tie Wayne Rooney’s record as England’s all-time leading scorer with 53 goals. Later in the match, Kane sailed a PK opportunity in the 82nd minute that would’ve even scored at 2–2, a crucial miss that ultimately helped decide England’s fate.
