Trailing 1-0 against the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the round of 32 until the hydration break in the second half, England succeeded in a thrilling last-minute turnaround.

Ace player Kane put on a one-man show.

In the 30th minute of the second half, he headed in a cross from Gordon for a dramatic equalizer, his fourth goal of the tournament. Eleven minutes later, he created space with a brilliant dribble and fired a powerful right-footed shot into the top corner of the net.

Thanks to Kane's multi-goal performance, England secured a 2-1 comeback win and advanced to the round of 16.

[Harry Kane/England National Team Forward: I thought it might not be our day after being blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper, but we kept believing and continued to attack until the end. I believed that a hero's moment would come for someone, and thankfully, I became that hero today.]

Belgium also achieved an unbelievable comeback victory against Senegal.

Trailing 2-0, Belgium's star striker Lukaku ignited the spark by scoring a goal in the 41st minute of the second half, and three minutes later, Tielemans leveled the match with a brilliant header.

Even in extra time, Belgium engaged in a back-and-forth battle with Senegal before deciding the match just before the final whistle.

Tielemans drew a foul from the opponent inside the penalty box and successfully converted the penalty kick himself, celebrating the joy with his teammates.

Having secured a 3-2 comeback win to reach the round of 16, Belgium will now compete for a spot in the quarterfinals against the winner of the ongoing match between the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
