KANSAS CITY, Missouri, June 24 (Reuters) - A Ghanaian witch doctor says he has "released" ‌England captain Harry Kane from his spell ‌after the striker failed to find the net in Tuesday's ​goalless draw at the World Cup.

Nana Kwaku Bonsam, a self-described spiritualist, had said before England's Group L clash with Ghana that he would cast a spell ‌to stop Kane ⁠from scoring.

"Now I am going to release Harry Kane so that, his next ⁠match, he can score. Harry, I will come and visit you. Don't be offended. We are friends," ​Bonsam said ​in a video posted ​on social media.

Kane scored ‌twice in England's 4-2 victory over Croatia in their World Cup opener, but against Ghana the Bayern Munich striker blazed his best chance over the bar from close range in stoppage time, denying ‌England a victory that would ​have secured their place in ​the knockout stage.

He ​said he was not dwelling on ‌Tuesday's late miss, however.

"I was ​waiting for ​an opportunity like that to fall my way," he said. "It did and I just couldn't quite ​get over ‌the ball. But I've been a striker long ​enough to know they don't always go ​in."
