Which play did Gordon make for Kane’s 86th-minute winner?

Question

Accepted Answer

Anthony Gordon supplied the pass for Harry Kane’s 86th-minute winner, but the exact details of the play were not described.
Anthony Gordon was introduced at 60 minutes and then played a decisive role in both of Harry Kane’s second-half goals against the Democratic Republic of Congo. The record states that Gordon provided the pass for Kane’s 86th-minute winner, but it does not specify how the pass was delivered or what the preceding sequence looked like.
Gordon was brought on at 60 minutes and immediately influenced the comeback
Gordon entered the match at 60 minutes as England made changes while trailing after Brian Cipenga scored in the seventh minute. After that point, England were still struggling to break through despite dominating possession, with Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi making a series of notable saves.
Gordon’s cross helped Kane equalise in the 75th minute
The same spell of play that led to the equaliser began with Gordon’s cross. Kane then scored with a header at 75 minutes to level the game, turning the match into a late comeback story for England.
Gordon then supplied the pass for the 86th-minute winner
For the winning goal at 86 minutes, the match account credits Gordon with providing the pass. It does not describe the exact method of the pass, such as where it came from, whether it was a through ball or a cut-back, or the positioning of Kane at the moment of receiving it.
The reporting confirms the assist but omits the specific play-by-play
While the timeline is clear—Cipenga’s goal in the seventh minute, Kane’s header in the 75th minute, and Kane’s winner 11 minutes later—the detailed mechanics of the 86th-minute scoring sequence are not given. The only confirmed information about that winner is that Gordon made the assist with the pass.
