World Cup Roundup: Harry Kane Joins Goalscoring Stars; Cristiano Ronaldo Struggles

One day after Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi all started their World Cups with multi-goal games, Harry Kane got in on the act — but Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t. The England captain scored twice in England’s win over Croatia, while Ronaldo couldn’t make a real impact in Portugal’s draw against DR Congo. Ronaldo’s role in the Portuguese team has been a hot topic, and his performance on Wednesday will not dispel any concerns. Here is everything you might have missed on Day 7 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Portugal vs. DR Congo England vs. Croatia Ghana vs. Panama Uzbekistan vs. Colombia BEST OF THE DAY Goal Of The Day Colombia entered its World Cup-opening match against Uzbekistan as a massive favorite, and it played like that was the case. Colombia dominated the first 39 minutes, but it needed a moment of brilliance to finally break through. Bayern Munich star Luis Díaz picked up the ball on the left side of the pitch and spotted a run from right back Daniel Muñoz. The lofted pass spotted the Crystal Palace man in stride and resulted in the opening goal of the game. Muñoz used the momentum of Díaz’s pass and flicked his shot past Utkir Yusupov to give Colombia a deserved lead. Assist Of The Day There were a few impressive assists today, specifically from both of Croatia’s goals, but a combination of England substitutes put the cherry on top of the Three Lions’ win. Saka picked up the ball on the right wing and drove forward, playing a perfect pass into the path of Marcus Rashford as he made a run down the left side. Rashford picked it up and finished calmly. While Saka and Rashford didn’t start, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the pair make more of an impact for England later in the tournament. Save(s) Of The Day Livakovic was busy on Wednesday, facing 22 shots against England. He made seven saves, multiple of which came on one sequence. First, England defender Nico O’Reilly headed toward goal and forced a reflex save out of Livakovic. Winger Anthony Gordon had a header from a few yards out saved, and then Livakovic thwarted defender Ezri Konsa’s effort from just a couple of yards in front of goal. He wasn’t done from there and made an impressive save off a shot from Kane just minutes later. It was an impressive performance from Livakovic, who plays for Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia. Moment Of The Day Portugal took an easy lead against DR Congo after Neves headed home impressively. Wissa answered later in the first half, though, to make history for his country. This is DR Congo’s first-ever World Cup under that name. When it was known as Zaire in 1974, it lost all three games without scoring a goal. Wissa rose highest to head home impressively past Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa. It was a wonderful moment in Houston for a DR Congo team that showed it’s not content to have just qualified for the World Cup. DR Congo had chances in transition late in the match, but it never seriously tested Costa again. At the final whistle, they will be thrilled to have won a point with the draw.
