Mexico vs England

Mexico vs England in the Round of 16, played July 5 at Estadio Azteca, ended 3-2 to England. Jude Bellingham scored twice in the first half (36th and 38th minutes) and Harry Kane added a penalty, while Mexico replied through a Julian Quinones brace (42nd and 43rd minutes) and a Raul Jimenez penalty. England's Jarell Quansah was sent off on VAR review in the 54th minute, leaving England to see out more than half an hour with ten men.
Mexico arrived unbeaten, having won Group A with a perfect record over South Africa, South Korea and Czechia, then beaten Ecuador 2-0 in the Round of 32 at the same stadium, Mexico's first World Cup knockout win since 1986. That run ended against an England side that had needed a late Harry Kane brace of its own to see off DR Congo 2-1 in the previous round, after winning Group L with a 4-2 win over Croatia, a draw with Ghana and a win over Panama. The result was also England's first-ever win at Estadio Azteca, a stadium best known in English football memory as the site of Diego Maradona's Hand of God quarterfinal in 1986.
