Harry Kane scored an injury-time winner to help England battle to victory over Tunisia 2-1 in their opening game of Group G.

England took the lead in the 11th minute with a goal by Kane before Tunisia equalised through penalty.

Then Kane nodded home from close range in the 91st minute from a corner to put England back on top.

The squad is England's youngest team at a World Cup since 1958 and it showed flashes of thrilling attacking football.

Also in Group G, Belgium proved too good for Panama, winning 3-0 in the opening match. 

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku scored twice and Dries Mertens added one goal.

Belgium are now unbeaten in their last 10 World Cup group games, winning each of their last five.

In Group F, Sweden marked their first appearance in the World Cup in 12 years by beating South Korea 1-0.

The only goal came from a penalty that was awarded after a video assistant referee review.

Sweden now joins Mexico at the top of the group on three points with the latter beating defending champion Germany 1-0.
