Harry Kane is making history in the World Cup after a significant achievement in today’s match against Croatia. The 32-year-old England striker converted a penalty, setting a new record for penalties scored in the tournament.
This latest goal marks Kane’s fifth converted penalty at World Cups, allowing him to become the all-time record holder for penalties scored in the history of the tournament. He has surpassed renowned players such as Gabriel Batistuta, Lionel Messi, Eusébio, and Rob Rensenbrink, each of whom netted four penalties during their World Cup careers.
Currently, among active players, Lionel Messi remains the only contender who could potentially challenge Kane’s record in this World Cup.
