Harry Kane is making history in the World Cup as he continues to excel on the international stage. Today, during a match against Croatia, the 32-year-old England striker converted a penalty, marking a significant milestone in his career.
This successful spot-kick brings Kane’s total to five penalties scored in World Cup tournaments, establishing him as the all-time record holder for penalties converted in the event’s history.
With this achievement, Kane has surpassed legendary figures such as Gabriel Batistuta, Lionel Messi, Eusébio, and Rob Rensenbrink, who each scored four penalties in their World Cup careers.
Among current players, Lionel Messi remains the only competitor who could potentially challenge Kane’s record during this World Cup.
