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

England hands Mexico its first World Cup loss at Estadio Azteca, winning 3-2 to reach the quarterfinals after a tense second-half turnaround. The match on Sunday night in Mexico City saw Jude Bellingham score two goals 98 seconds apart in the first half, with Harry Kane converting a penalty after England were reduced to 10 men. Kane then added a second penalty goal, his sixth of the tournament, moving him within one of the Golden Boot leaders. England finished ahead despite Mexico’s relentless late pressure, with Julián Quiñones scoring in the 42nd minute and Raul Jiménez later converting a penalty to make it 3-2. The game was shaped by a red card to Jarell Quansah in the 54th minute and a subsequent penalty awarded after a challenge involving Mexico goalkeeper Raúl Rangel. England will face Norway on Saturday in Miami Gardens, Florida, for a quarterfinal spot in the semifinals. Attendance was 80,824 at Estadio Azteca.
