- Assist: John Stones. "England's captain gave them the reward they deserved for a brilliant start by turning in the opener in the 11th minute after Tunisia keeper Mouez Hassen, who went off injured in the first half, clawed out John Stones' header." Harry Kane14th of 66 goals. Right-footed from 3 yards., 11' 10:31
- Assist: Harry Maguire. "The clock had ticked past 90 minutes. Harry Kane was there and, in that position, Gareth Southgate could not have wished for any other player to be primed inside the penalty area. An old English routine: the corner, the flick-on, the back-post header and, suddenly, England’s opening game of the World Cup had its happy ending." Harry Kane15th of 66 goals. Header from 3 yards., 90'+1'90:30
