Despite being reduced to 10 men, the Three Lions secured their place in the quarterfinals with goals from Jude Bellingham (36' and 38') and a Harry Kane penalty (60'). Mexico fought back with strikes from Julián Quiñones (42') and a Raúl Jiménez penalty (69'), but England held firm to advance.
Bellingham opened the scoring with a superb diving header from Bukayo Saka's cross, then added a quick second shortly after. Mexico pulled one back before halftime through Quiñones. After Jarell Quansah received a straight red card following a VAR review in the 54th minute, Kane converted a penalty to make it 3-1. Mexico responded with Jiménez's spot-kick, but England defended bravely to secure the win.
The victory sets up a quarterfinal meeting with Norway, who stunned Brazil earlier. England will be without the suspended Quansah, but Thomas Tuchel's side showed great character in a hostile environment. This result marks another strong showing for the Three Lions in the tournament. Fans celebrated the hard-fought triumph as England continues its campaign.
