England vs DR Congo: How 11 Minutes Turned the Match on Its Head

England stood 15 minutes from a humiliating World Cup exit after Brian Cipenga’s early goal gave DR Congo a shock lead in Atlanta. Lionel Mpasi repeatedly denied Thomas Tuchel’s side, while a disputed penalty decision and Yoane Wissa’s effort against the post intensified the danger.

Then Harry Kane scored twice between the 75th and 86th minutes. Those 11 minutes transformed England’s tournament, rewarded Tuchel’s substitutions and ended a performance in which DR Congo came remarkably close to reaching the last 16.
