England advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup after a thrilling 3-2 victory over host nation Mexico at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. The match, delayed by an hour due to a storm, saw England take control late in the first half with two quick goals from Jude Bellingham. Despite Mexico’s strong response, including a goal from Julian Quiñones and a late penalty by Raúl Jiménez, England held on under intense pressure to secure the win. Harry Kane scored from the spot for England, while goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made crucial saves to preserve the lead.
The match tested England’s resilience as defender Jarell Quansah was sent off early in the second half, leaving the team with ten men. Manager Thomas Tuchel adjusted tactics by reinforcing the defense with Dan Burn and Jed Spence to withstand Mexico’s late surge. Supporters hailed the result as one of England’s finest away performances in recent years.
England will now face Norway in the quarterfinals as they continue their pursuit of the World Cup title.
