England will play their round of 16 fixture on Sunday in Gelsenkirchen, though their opponent is yet to be finalised. As group winners, they will face a third-placed team.
“That was the aim to top the group before the tournament, we were better on the ball, but could not find that final pass,” Kane said post-match.
“The boys that came on gave us a different dimension, but these games are tough, we’ve been here before and hopefully, we can step it up in the knockouts,” he added.
Slovenia have booked their berth in the round of 16 with an unbeaten record. They did so well against the England attack, keeping their defence disciplined and solid.
After their 1-1 draw with Denmark, England were under pressure to step up against Slovenia and they failed.
The Three Lions had a whopping 12 attempts at goal, but they lacked the finishing touch in the final third. Slovenia’s keeper was barely tested.
