England beat Croatia 2-1 to keep its chance of finishing atop the group alive.

The 2-1 win over Croatia kept first place possible before England’s final group game. Harry Kane scored the winner from the penalty spot at Wembley on Thursday, then made clear that beating Spain on Sunday is the route England needs. Spain has 15 points to England’s 12, so a win would allow England to finish atop the group. Kane said the team knew after losing to Spain in their first meeting that it could play better. He also pointed to a more immediate problem: England gave the ball away too easily, especially in its own half. The chance is there, but Kane says the performance has to improve.
