Live commentary

  1. 90:00 +6:55That's it for today, Adham Makhadmeh has blown his whistle and the game is over.
  2. 90:00 +6:48The attendance is 68239.
  3. 90:00 +6:30Yoane Wissa (D.R. Congo) failed to convert a mid-range free kick and sends the ball narrowly over the bar.
  4. 90:00 +5:07Jude Bellingham (England) is obviously not following the Golden Rule: "Treat others as you want to be treated.“ He makes a bad challenge and leaves Adham Makhadmeh with no other option than to blow for a foul.
  5. 90:00 +2:54Axel Tuanzebe (D.R. Congo) pulls the jersey of one of the opposition players and Adham Makhadmeh blows his whistle for a foul.
  6. 90:00 +2:08Fiston Mayele (D.R. Congo) is penalised after knocking an opponent down.
  7. 90:00 +1:27Edo Kayembe (D.R. Congo) crosses the ball into the box, but one of the defending players averts the threat.
  8. 90:00 +0:54It's time for a substitution. That's the last involvement from Declan Rice as he is replaced by John Stones (England).
  9. 90:00 +0:24Adham Makhadmeh blows his whistle for a foul after Anthony Gordon (England) hacks down one of his opponents.
  10. 90:00We will have 6 min. of added time.
  11. 89:44A short pass finds Harry Kane (England). He spots the keeper off his line and shoots from mid-range, but the ball sails high over the bar.
  12. 88:37Substitution. Arthur Masuaku did his best and is replaced by Joris Kayembe (D.R. Congo).
  13. 88:24Sebastien Desabre decides to make a substitution. Samuel Moutoussamy will be replaced by Fiston Mayele (D.R. Congo).
  14. 88:14A pass by Nico O'Reilly (England) ends up in no man's land, and the attacking effort comes to an end. The ball is out of play. D.R. Congo will take a throw-in.
  15. 85:47Harry Kane (England) scores a goal! He picks up a sweet pass and coolly slots the ball into the top right corner.

Preview

England secured a 2-0 victory over Panama last time out after an improvement in the second half. They have struggled in the opening 45 minutes during this tournament, often coming alive after half-time.

DR Congo advanced into the next round after securing a 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan, which meant they finished in the top eight of the best third-place finishers.

Whichever side advances into the next round this week, they will face Mexico or Ecuador in the round of 16.
