Key events
90 min +7: Wissa loops a fine effort towards the top right, but itâs always sailing over the bar. He could have done with being a couple of yards further out. Thatâs surely that.
Share
90 min +6: Wissa barges has way down the middle, and is unceremoniously upended by Bellingham, who is lucky to avoid a second yellow. One last chance for the DRC coming up. Wissa will take it himself.
Share
90 min +4: Anderson takes the ball to the corner flag, and the clock is Englandâs friend now.
Share
90 min +2: Kaneâs shot whistled into the net at 94 km/h. Some way to decide the match, and to drag England out of the malodorous stuff.
Share
90 min +1: Bongonda drives down the right and draws a foul from Gordon. Before the free kick can be taken, Rice, cramping up, is replaced by Stones.
Share
90 min: There will be six additional minutes.
Share
89 min: A double change for the DRC as Moutoussamy and Masuaku make way for Mayele and Joris Kayembe.

88 min: That was a hell of a strike. Absolutely, utterly unstoppable. The DRC defenders look distraught. So close but yet so far.

GOAL! England 2-1 DR Congo (Kane 86)
Extra time looms ⊠but England may well have body-swerved it! Kane picks up possession on the edge of the DRC box, his back to goal. He turns and runs left to right along the edge of the area, reaching the right-hand end of the D, swivelling, and sending a rising shot into the top right! An absolute ripper!

85 min: Elia crosses from the left. Guehi heads the ball back to him. Elia tries a shot from the corner of the box, but doesnât catch it, and the ball dribbles through to Pickford.
Share
83 min: ⊠so having said that, the DRC spend a bit of time in Englandâs half. Elia probes down the left, but canât get past Rice, who suddenly looks like Englandâs best bet at right-back.
Share
82 min: Bellingham worms his way down the left, reaches the byline and tries to force the ball through to OâReilly, six yards out. But there are too many defenders in the way, and the ballâs eventually hacked clear. England are pinning the DRC back, though.
Share
80 min: Gordon pushes the ball past Mbemba on the left, hoping to instigate a footrace. Instead he runs slap-bang into the defender, who ambles off with the ball.
Share
79 min: Anderson has a dig from 25 yards. His attempted curler into the top right is skied over the bar.
Share
78 min: Bongondaâs first act is to launch a long pass down the middle. Wissa is ahead of the back-tracking England defenders, but Pickford has read the danger and races from his box to clear.
Share
77 min: The DRC make a double change, replacing Cipenga and Mukau with Bongonda and Kayembe.
Share
GOAL! England 1-1 DR Congo (Kane 75)
When it arrives, itâs so simple. Gordon chips in from the left. A little looper that finds Kane six yards out. Kane guides a header across Mpasi and into the left-hand side of the net. Mpasi gets a hand to it, but canât stop this one. England back in it!

73 min: The DRC clear the corner, but Cipenga hauls down Konsa, and itâs a free kick. Rice, who had just taken the corner on the left, runs over to take this set piece on the right. Itâs all a waste of energy, as nothing comes of it.
Share
72 min: Saka curls in from the right. Gordon prepares to head goalwards at the far stick, but Wan-Bissaka gets in ahead to flick out for a corner. Rice trots over to take.
Share
71 min: The game restarts, with England having made an attacking substitution. Spence is replaced by Eze, with Rice filling the gap vacated at right-back.
Share
70 min: Thomas Tuchel is giving his team quite the passionate team-talk. England are being told whatâs what. âIf youâve had enough of Heart of Darkness references,â writes James McVeigh, âmaybe we could move on to Englandâs hopes being Gone with the Wind in Atlanta.â
Share
68 min: ⊠and thatâs drinks. ⏠âȘ â« Skol Skol Skol Skol! ⏠âȘ â«
Share
67 min: Konsa tugs at Wissaâs shirt, to stop the DRC man tearing away down the left touchline. A foul, nothing more. Another possible yellow card, but the referee doesnât show one.
Share
65 min: Saka crosses from the right. Kane canât win a header and the DRC counter through their new man Elia, who looks like winning a footrace down the right with OâReilly, until the England man does well to battle back and nick the ball off him. That was a good duel.
Share
64 min: The second corner is a non-event. Then the DRC make their first change, replacing the impressive Mbuku with Elia.
Share
63 min: The cornerâs played short back up the flank. Mbuku cuts in from the right and aims for the top-left corner. Anderson eyebrows over the bar. That was heading in.
Share
62 min: Mbuku advances down the right and wins a corner off OâReilly. From which âŠ
Share
61 min: England make a double change, switching out their wingers. Off go Rashford and Madueke, on come Gordon and Saka.
Share
59 min: Anderson comes clanking in on Sadiki. It should be a foul, and possibly a booking, but it ends up being neither. Kane then tries to play Rashford through but his attempted defence-splitter is intercepted.
Share
58 min: Rashford swings a cross in from the left ⊠miles over the bar. He puts his head in his hands. A few boos. A lot of English frustration.
Share
56 min: Spence traps Masuaku near the right-hand corner flag, but the DRC defender spins and plays the ball off his England counterpart for a goal kick. âIs that Jan Tomaszewski in goal?â wonders Andrew Goudie.
Share
54 min: Madueke crosses from the right. Rashford rises highest but plants his header miles over the bar. England are making chances. But theyâre not taking them. Mpasi a big factor in all of that, to be fair.
Share
53 min: Now itâs Bellinghamâs turn to shoot from a tight angle on the left. Or was the intention to cross? Either way, itâs heading into the top-left corner, but Mpasi sticks up a strong hand to block. Another stunning save!

52 min: England immediately counter through Rashford, who enters the box from the left before lashing a drive into the side netting.
Share
51 min: Mbuku has the opportunity to release Wan-Bissaka into acres of space down the right. He passes, but Guehi dives desperately to block. Itâs brilliant defending, because had he not stopped the crossfield ball, Wan-Bissaka was away, clear through on goal.
Share
50 min: Before it can be taken, Kane shoves Mbemba to the ground. The referee gives both of them the what-for, and then the corner is taken, a complete waste of time.
Share
49 min: OâReilly wins a corner down the left. Rice wanders across to take. Once again he delivers long, and Bellingham prepares to head home at the far stick. But Masuaku is on point to head behind. Another Rice corner coming up, this time from the right.
