Harry Kane is etching his name into the history books of the World Cup.
Details: Today’s converted penalty in the World Cup clash against Croatia allowed the 32-year-old England striker Harry Kane to set a unique record.
This latest spot-kick brings Kane’s tally to five penalties scored at World Cups, making him the all-time record holder for penalties converted in the history of the tournament.
Kane has now surpassed the likes of Batistuta, Messi, Eusébio, and Rensenbrink, each of whom netted four penalties throughout their World Cup careers.
Among current players, Lionel Messi is the only one who could challenge Kane’s record at this World Cup.
