Harry Kane stepped up in the 78th minute to convert a penalty and seal a comfortable 3-0 win for England against Panama. The captain's composed finish from twelve yards completed his first hat-trick of the 2026 tournament and capped a dominant display by the Three Lions.

Bukayo Saka had fired England ahead with a clinical strike before half-time, giving the side a deserved lead. Phil Foden then doubled the advantage six minutes after the restart, finishing neatly after a swift counter-attack to leave Panama with a mountain to climb.

Panama's hopes evaporated when Michael Murillo's rash challenge inside the box handed Kane the chance to write his name into the history books. England now sit top of their group with maximum points and a formidable goal difference heading into their next fixture.
