Led by a Jude Bellingham brace and a Harry Kane penalty kick, England held on for an epic 3-2 victory<\/a> over Mexico on Sunday evening in the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a> Round of 16.<\/p>\n The Mexico City Stadium thriller eliminates the tournament co-hosts, while England march into the quarterfinals on July 11 vs. Erling Haaland-led Norway.<\/p>\n The Three Lions played the final 36 minutes plus stoppage time down a man after Jarell Quansah, following a Video Review, was sent off for a high-foot challenge on Jes\u00fas Gallardo.<\/p>\n Thomas Tuchel\u2019s side held a 2-1 advantage at that point, with Bellingham scoring in the 36th and 38th minutes to stun the home crowd. And despite playing down a man, England went ahead 3-1 when Kane deposited his penalty kick in the 60th minute after goalkeeper Ra\u00fal Rangel fouled Anthony Gordon in the box.<\/p>\n Mexico clawed one back via a penalty kick in the 69th minute, with striker Ra\u00fal Jim\u00e9nez firing past Jordan Pickford. The England goalkeeper, who Juli\u00e1n Qui\u00f1ones unleashed a volley past in the 42nd minute, pulled out several stunning stops to withstand Mexico’s quest for an equalizer.<\/p>\n Ultimately, El Tri suffered their third competitive loss at the famed Mexico City Stadium \u2013 and their first since 2013. Head coach Javier Aguirre’s side didn’t concede a goal in four prior 2026 World Cup matches.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n Goals<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
