Rogers opened the scoring in the 2-1 Nations League victory, while Kane converted a second-half penalty to make the occasion even more memorable. Speaking to ITV after the match, the midfielder paid tribute to the striker's ability to maintain his standards despite the attention surrounding his landmark.
"Scores the goal as he always does. Not much is new - a lovely night for him and his family. For us to be on the pitch tonight is a special honour, all about him really.
"Credit to him, he treated it like every other game. He's relentless, keeps his work ethic and his focus and that's where he gets the result. That's why he's the Ballon d'Or winner, his mindset and his work rate is relentless. He doesn't get there by accident."
Rogers also reflected on the difficulty of the contest, admitting Croatia had presented a different challenge from the one England encountered in their previous meeting.
"Tough - things we want to focus on and work on. They played different to how we expected. They played with less fear and it was tough. They're still good players, still Croatia who we have played before and in the World Cup in the first game we struggled against them.
"We knew it wasn't going to be that type of game [7-0], we knew we'd have to dig deep and find a different way of winning and we did that but we still have to look at the negatives and keep working."
Kane, meanwhile, spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live about the emotion of the occasion and the significance of adding a victory to his appearance record. He received a pre-match presentation involving Prince William, former record-holder Peter Shilton and Croatia captain Luka ModriΔ, before being joined on the pitch by his children.
"Big thanks to everyone who organised the start of the match. To have all them presentations, thank you to Croatia and Luka [Modric] for presenting me with that as well.
"I'm trying to take everything in. It's an important milestone in England's history but once the whistle goes, the most important thing is the match and trying to win. I've always said all these big milestones that I've had, when you win the game it makes it 10x better and I've been lucky enough to win all of them, especially here at Wembley so of course nice to do it again."
The striker admitted that the build-up had been emotionally demanding, but said his focus returned to the demands of the match once play began.
"It's been a crazy few weeks. It, of course, takes a lot out of you emotionally, physically and mentally and all these things. Of course I'm very good at staying focused on the job and what needs to be done but it's a hard balance because you want to take it in. Breaking the record is a massive thing in the history of our game, seeing the tifo there, having my kids with me, and being presented by all the people was beyond dreams, so of course you have got to take it in.
"Once the whistle goes and you're on the pitch, you just start focusing on what your job is, pressing and playing the ball, playing assists and goals and that just takes over. It's always been in me that I'm able to switch, and of course now I can enjoy it with my family on the pitch after this."
Kane also explained the thinking behind his decision to change his usual approach when taking the penalty that secured the win.
"Little bit nervous, as always, especially since I missed my last one for Bayern. The next one is always important to bounce back and not get on a run of missing them. I done my usual routine yesterday in training and looking at the goalkeeper. I haven't gone down the middle with a penalty for maybe three or four years. It's been a while since I done that. Maybe 2023 since I last went down the middle.
"With penalties, you have to keep things fresh, keep things moving. I thought it was a good time to do it, looking at his clips. Thankfully, it paid off today."
Kane's penalty completed the 2-1 win and ensured that a night dedicated to his England record ended with another decisive contribution on the pitch.
