England secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over co-hosts Mexico in a thrilling FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 match held at the iconic Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. The win propelled England into the quarter-finals of the tournament. The match, which was delayed by an hour due to thunderstorms, saw England's Jude Bellingham score two quick goals in the first half, followed by a penalty from Harry Kane.
Despite playing with ten men for a significant portion of the second half after a red card, England managed to hold off a determined Mexican side. Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez (from a penalty) found the net for Mexico, reducing England's lead and setting up a tense finish. England will now face Norway in the quarter-finals.
