Harry Kane surpassed Pelé’s World Cup goal tally courtesy of his late brace against Congo DR to salvage England’s spot in the round of 16 with a dramatic 2-1 comeback, ESPN reports.

With full time fast approaching, the Three Lions looked on course for a shocking tournament exit after Congo DR had taken a seventh-minute lead, but Kane sprinkled some desperately needed magic to hand England hope with a 75th-minute equalizer.

That goal saw him equal Pelé’s World Cup goal tally on 12, but the formidable Kane turned into his nation’s hero when he rifled in England’s winner to surpass the Brazilian legend.

England will now face tournament co-hosts Mexico at Estadio Azteca in the round of 16 on July 5.
