England captain Harry Kane scored twice to help secure a 2-1 comeback victory over DR Congo and spoke to the media afterward.

On the Match:

Yeah, honestly, it's an amazing feeling. Clearly it was an intense match. First of all, I have to credit DR Congo—they're a very organized team and extremely difficult to play against. But then we raised our performance level and played very well. There were some great saves in the first half, those moments come and it was difficult, but being in the right place at the right time was crucial. Whether that's me or a defender or anyone, we're here for moments like this. So I'm delighted I was there.

Your first goal settled England down, and the second was more celebration. Was it a release of long-held tension?

Yes, matches like this require patience. Many games are like this, and the pressure in knockout stages is immense. You have to stay true to yourself. From an attacking perspective, this was one of our best performances of the tournament. All our attacking combinations worked. But I think the next match will be difficult for different reasons. We face a strong Mexico side. And we're still in the competition. This is what we want to continue.

After the match, I saw the team gathering together. What did you tell your teammates?

I just told everyone to enjoy it. We're playing in the FIFA World Cup. You don't always get to celebrate like this, so you have to enjoy these moments. We're playing in the FIFA World Cup, and I want to enjoy all these moments with the fans. We have another match in four days.

After the Croatia match, this victory should be even greater motivation, right?

Absolutely. After the Croatia match, we spoke and wanted to make an impact. Whoever we face, we know we must maintain our full energy. We need to keep our performance level high throughout the 90 minutes. It's difficult, but everyone involved showed a really impressive performance. And we must maintain that.
