Match Report

England knocked co-hosts Mexico out of the World Cup with a dramatic 3-2 victory at the Estadio Azteca, with Jude Bellingham turning in a near-mythical display to send the Three Lions into the quarter-finals. Bellingham struck twice in 98 seconds — a 36th-minute header and a tap-in two minutes later — before Julián Quiñones halved the deficit with a tidy volley in the 42nd. Harry Kane extended the lead with a 60th-minute penalty after Anthony Gordon was fouled, but Raúl Jiménez replied from the spot in the 69th minute to set up a nervy finale. The tension spiked when Jarell Quansah received a straight red card on 54 minutes, following a VAR review of his studs-up foul on Jesús Gallardo. Ten-man England had to ride out 36-plus minutes of relentless pressure, with Jordan Pickford making several vital saves to hold firm. For Mexico, it's a heartbreaking exit on home soil. England march on to the quarter-finals, where Norway await.
