In addition, coach Joachim Löf, who decided to return the battalion of the German national team at the end of this tournament, ended the 17-year accompaniment since 2004 and said goodbye with a disappointing record of Euro 2020 'Exclusion of the Round of 16'.
Sterling, who emerged as the 'solver' of the England national team through Euro 2020, and the English Premier League top scorer Kane last season's consecutive cannons destroyed the 'Tank Corps'.
England, in their 300th game at Wembley Stadium, faced Germany in the 16th minute, when Sterling's medium-range gun was blocked by the goalkeeper, and Kane, who faced the goalkeeper from the left side of the goal area, failed to hit a shot in the 45th minute and ended the first half without a goal. .
The boring 'Spirit Workshop' finally broke out in the second half of the 30 minutes, and the protagonist was 'Solver' Sterling.
Sterling caught the ball from behind and spread it to the left flank and rushed into the front of the goal.
Meanwhile, Luke Shaw caught the ball after Kane and Jack Grealish and threw a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Sterling scored the winning goal with his right foot from the front of the goal area.
Sterling, who was the only England national team player to score two goals in the group stage, scored his third goal in the tournament with the final goal in the round of 16.
Kane responded with an extra goal to Sterling's winning goal.
Kane finished with a header from the front of the goal area from a cross Grealish attempted from the left side of the penalty area in the 41st minute of the second half.
It was Kane's first goal in four games in this tournament.
In addition, it was his first goal in his Euro tournament.
With this goal, Kane scored seven goals in the majors (one Euro and six World Cup goals), putting him on par with Wayne Rooney (7 goals).
In another round of 16 at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland, Ukraine reveled in their first ever quarterfinals by defeating Sweden 2-1 after a 120-minute extra-time battle.
Ukraine took the lead with Oleksandr Zinzeko's goal in the 27th minute, and Sweden's Emil Forsberg equalized in the 43rd minute with a mid-range cannon, ending the first half 1-1.
