England captain and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane continued his remarkable goalscoring journey by leading the Three Lions to a hard-fought 1-0 victory over New Zealand national football team in an international friendly on Saturday.
The match, played at Raymond James Stadium, formed part of England's final preparations for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Kane proved decisive once again, scoring the only goal of the match in first-half stoppage time (45+3), ensuring England secured victory in their penultimate warm-up fixture before the tournament.
The Three Lions controlled large portions of the contest but struggled to break down a resilient New Zealand side until Kane delivered the breakthrough just before the interval. His latest strike further strengthens his status as England's all-time leading scorer and underlines his importance ahead of the World Cup.
England will conclude their preparations on Wednesday when they face Costa Rica national football team in their final friendly before turning their attention to the global showpiece in North America.
