World Cup 2018 – England 2-1 Tunisia, LIVE score and build-up: Three Lions captain Harry Kane targets first victory of the tournament in Russia
The dam finally bursts! Off of a corner, John Stones’s towering header is barely parried away by the Tunisian goalkeeper Mouez Hassen, but Harry Kane is right there to put away the rebound. A perfect poacher’s goal.
Battling for a cross, Kyle Walker put his arm in the face of Tunisia attacker Fakhreddine Ben Youssef. As he fell, Colombian referee Wilmar Roldan called the penalty.
Ferjani Sassi calmly slots a penalty into the bottom left corner, past a diving Jordan Pickford. We’re tied, 1-1.
No surprise, Volgograd Arena absolutely explodes as Ferjani Sassi converts the penalty. Tunisia doesn’t get to the World Cup very much, and its fans have descended here in force. Whabi Khazri was wide open on the left and about to collect a pass in a dangerous spot when he slipped. If Tunisia could ever steal another goal and go into halftime with a lead, oh my...
On England’s seventh corner kick of the match, Harry Maguire met the ball at the penalty spot, and deflected it to the back post, where Harry Kane was waiting to head it past Farouk Ben Mustapha.
Once again, Harry Kane doesn’t go for the first ball, but instead lets one of England’s towering center backs jump into the scrum, and he puts away the second ball.
