England vs. Ghana (live updates): Boston Stadium hosts 4th World Cup match today

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Harry Kane scored two goals in England’s opening 4-2 win over Croatia, giving him 10 in World Cup play to match Gary Lineker’s English record. It also pushed Kane into a seven-way tie for seventh in tournament history.

Kane, who is a huge fan of the New England Patriots and Tom Brady, gets a chance to add to that total when England faces surprising Ghana at Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Tuesday.

Should he score, Kane would move into a tie for sixth with Germany’s Jürgen Klinsmann and Hungary’s Sándor Kocsis. A win would send England to the knockout stage for the third straight World Cup.

Ghana is tied with England atop Group L following its opening 1-0 win over Panama on Brandon Thomas-Asante’s goal in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time. Ghana is looking for its first trip to the knockout stage since reaching the quarterfinals in 2010.

England is unbeaten against African teams at the World Cup, with five wins and three draws.

The match kicks off at 4 p.m. It can be seen on Boston 25 News/FOX.
