England hands Mexico its first World Cup loss at Estadio Azteca, winning 3-2 to reach quarterfinals | LAZER 103.3

England handed Mexico its first World Cup loss at Estadio Azteca by defeating El Tri 3-2 on Sunday night to reach the quarterfinals. The match at Estadio Azteca—where England had previously lost on Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal in 1986—featured a hostile crowd of 80,824, altitude, and a man disadvantage for part of the second half. Jude Bellingham scored two goals 98 seconds apart in the first half (36th and 38th minutes). After Jarell Quansah was sent off, Harry Kane converted a penalty six minutes later to restore a two-goal lead. Mexico’s Julián Quiñones pulled one back in the 42nd minute, and Raúl Jiménez scored from a stutter-step penalty to make it 3-2, after England earned a penalty when Mexico goalkeeper Raúl Rangel challenged. England will face Norway on Saturday in Miami Gardens, Florida. Kane’s tally matched Gerd Müller for fifth in World Cup scoring, and England’s defense held off Mexico in the final 21 minutes plus stoppage time.
