Head-to-head: Harry Kane and Erling Haaland to meet in the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals

Chris

Currently two of Europe’s greatest goal machines, Kane and Haaland have set this World Cup alight with their ruthless finishing, making it a matter of when, and not if, they’ll score. Their inevitability at this summer’s tournament has simply been a continuation of their form for their respective clubs, with Kane firing Bayern Munich to a league and DFB Cup double while Haaland and Manchester City triumphed in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season.

Having racked up an unbelievable 61 goals in 51 appearances for Bayern in 2025/26 and picking up a third consecutive Torjägerkanone, England captain Kane has brought his red-hot form over to the States with him, netting six times in five games to set up an enticing quarter-final clash with Norway, and put him level with Gerd Müller on 14 World Cup goals.
