Kane and Saka Score 2 Each as England Crushes Croatia 7-0 in Nations League

On Saturday, October 3, 2026, England defeated Croatia 7-0 in a UEFA Nations League match in Rijeka, with Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka each scoring twice. Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon, and Morgan Rogers also scored.
The match occurred behind closed doors due to UEFA sanctions imposed following fan misconduct during a 2025 game against France. Approximately 6,000 children and 100 England supporters attended under a disciplinary exception.
Head coach Thomas Tuchel's side controlled the match with tactical fluidity from the start. Bellingham provided three assists and scored, while Gordon and Saka's contributions underscored England's relentless attacking pressure.
Following this victory, England sits second in Group A3, level on points with Spain. The squad faces the Czech Republic on Tuesday, October 6, in their next Nations League fixture.
Manager Slaven Bilic faces mounting defensive concerns for Croatia, having conceded 12 goals in three matches. The result marks a significant shift in a rivalry once defined by the 2018 World Cup semi-final.
