The Three Lions captain doubled his side's lead when headed home superbly from Jude Bellingham's cross in the second half. The goal took Kane's overall World Cup tally to 11 goals, surpassing Lineker's total of 10. "It is a proud one for sure," Kane told BBC Sport. "I spoke before the tournament about the World Cup being the biggest competition we play as professional footballers, so to get to 11 goals is a proud feeling. "It is always hard to take in. I just want to enjoy this moment with the team, enjoy being top of the table. "I never take these moments for granted. Another good milestone to hit, and I hope it is not the last one in this tournament." Lineker, who scored six times at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico and four times in Italy four years later, said recently that Kane was "the greatest English striker we've ever had". Kane got two goals in England's opening 4-2 win against Croatia, which made him only the second England men's player to score at three different World Cups (Russia 2018, Qatar 2022 and North America 2026). He joins former Manchester United midfielder David Beckham, who scored at the 1998, 2002 and 2006 World Cups. Kane won the Golden Boot in Russia eight years ago with six goals, before adding two further strikes in Qatar. He has three in total so far at this World Cup after helping England into the last 32.

Zlatko Dalic's side needed to avoid defeat against the Black Stars to be sure of a place in the knockout stages, but Vlasic's effort seven minutes from time ensured they qualified as runners-up to England – who beat Panama in Group L's other game. Ghana defender Derrick Luckassen had cancelled out Petar Sucic's stunning first-half opener in the 73rd minute, but the Black Stars were unable to hold on for a point and will now head into the last 32 as one of the best third-placed sides. Croatia's victory also ended any lingering hopes Scotland may have had of qualifying for the knockout stages.

In a must-win game for both sides, Belgium shook off two lacklustre displays to start the tournament and showed their superiority from the first whistle in Vancouver. Trossard opened the scoring in the 28th minute as New Zealand allowed a Kevin de Bruyne corner to bounce in the six-yard box, allowing the Arsenal forward to finish from close range after the ball had bounced off the back of defender Tim Payne. Rudi Garcia's side could have been out of sight by half-time but it was not until five minutes after the break that they got their second. De Bruyne punched a pass into Trossard, his first shot was blocked but he volleyed the follow-up in smartly at the near post. The result was put beyond doubt in the 66th minute when De Bruyne drilled a crisp left-foot shot into the bottom corner from 20 yards. New Zealand got a goal back as Elijah Just thumped in his third goal of the tournament but Belgium's three-goal lead was restored moments later as Romelu Lukaku headed in just 56 seconds after coming off the bench. Another substitute, Alexis Saelemaekers, added an extra shine to the scoreline as he slotted in the fifth in injury time. With Egypt failing to beat Iran, Belgium top Group G on goal difference and will face a third-placed team in the last 32 on Wednesday (21:00 BST). Meanwhile, New Zealand bow out of their third World Cup after taking just one point from three games.

Shoja Khalilzadeh turned home after a goalmouth scramble but his effort was disallowed following a lengthy video assistant referee check, while Saeid Ezatolahi headed against the woodwork in the seventh minute of added time. Wild celebrations had followed Khalilzadeh putting the ball in the net, with the defender removing his shirt - for which he was later booked - and posing for a photograph with a pair of sunglasses. His, and Iran's, joy was short-lived, though. Iran, who have drawn all three of their group matches, remain in with a chance of reaching the World Cup knockout phase for the first time ever as a best third-placed qualifier. Their hopes now rest on the outcomes of Groups J, K and L, while Egypt finished second in Group G. Results in other groups earlier in the day had already confirmed Egypt's progression to the last 32 before kick-off, although it was possible for them to finish first, second or third in the group. Belgium went through as group winners, courtesy of their victory against New Zealand. In an eventful start, Egypt took the lead in the fifth minute when Mahmoud Saber shot through a crowd of players to open the scoring. Iran produced a fine response and although Mehdi Taremi's penalty was saved by Mostafa Shobeir, they found an equaliser shortly afterwards when Ramin Rezaeian smashed in a rebound from a tight angle. Captain Mohamed Salah, needing one more goal to equal his head coach Hossam Hassan's all-time scoring record for Egypt, was substituted after 57 minutes. Before the dramatic finale, Taremi had headed against the bar from a corner in the closing stages, although the referee blew for a foul so it may not have counted had he found the net.

European champions Spain were already practically guaranteed a place in the last 32 before kick-off, but Alex Baena's strike late in the first half meant they topped Group H and will face the runners-up of Group J. Uruguay's miserable night was completed when midfielder Agustin Canobbio was sent off in stoppage time for a high challenge on Pau Cubarsi. Bielsa's side needed a positive result to secure progression, but defeat meant them suffered a second successive World Cup group stage exit with two points from three games. Spain took the lead in the 42nd minute after weathering a period of Uruguay pressure, when Baena swiveled and beat Muslera with a low shot despite the 40-year-old goalkeeper getting two hands on the ball. Uruguay were unhappy that their opponents did not put the ball out of play in the build-up to the goal when Manuel Ugarte went down following what appeared an innocuous challenge. The Manchester United midfielder received treatment before leaving the pitch on a stretcher. After making his third error leading to a goal in as many games, Muslera - who was making his 137th appearance - was replaced at half-time with Sergio Rochet. The change made little difference as Spain took control of the second half but could not find a second goal. Uruguay made a late push to save their tournament, but in truth never seriously tested Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon. Former Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, restored to the starting XI, missed two presentable opportunities in two minutes shortly after the first-half hydration break. Bielsa's side were in the ascendency until Muslera's error, but it was not until the final 10 minutes that they began to test Simon. Spain substitute Ferran Torres hit the crossbar late on, as Spain were able to see out their second win of the tournament, the first time they have achieved that at a World Cup since winning it 2010.
