Harry Kane Celebrates 125th England Cap with Two Goals in Victory Over Czech Republic

Harry Kane celebrated his 125th appearance for the England national football team with two goals in a 3-0 win against the Czech Republic at Wembley Stadium on October 6, 2026. This match brought Kane level with Peter Shilton for the most caps by a male England player.

Kane’s goals were his 90th and 91st for England. The victory puts England close to qualifying for the Nations League quarter-finals. They previously lost to Spain but bounced back with wins against the Czech Republic and Croatia.

England’s coach, Thomas Tuchel, made several changes to the lineup, resting some key players. Trent Alexander-Arnold returned to the team and made an immediate impact with a free-kick that tested the Czech goalkeeper.

The match saw a strange opening goal when Czech defender Vladimir Coufal accidentally scored an own goal from a Kane cross. Kane then scored his first goal just before halftime, finishing a well-coordinated team play.

In the second half, Kane added another goal with a header from a corner kick. He was substituted late in the game to a standing ovation, having played a crucial role in the team’s success.

With this win, England is well-positioned to secure a spot in the quarter-finals, sitting on nine points in their group. Kane expressed pride in his performance and the team’s effort, highlighting the quality of football they displayed.
