England clinched a 3-2 victory over Mexico belt at the Azteca Stadium, sending them into the World Cup quarter‑finals. Jude Bellingham opened the scoring with two early goals, while Harry Kane converted a late penalty to seal the winii

The match saw Mexico pull one back, but England’s defense, anchored by Jordan Pickford, held firm. Pickford made two crucial saves, while Thomas Tuchel’s side was reduced to 10 men after Jarell Quansah was sent off. The high altitude and roaring crowd added pressure, but England’s composure shone through.

Tuchel praised the “heart and belief” of his players, and Bellingham noted that the performance could rekindle confidence after recent mixed results. Ex‑keeper Joe Hart highlighted Pickford’s leadership under duress.

With the win, England faces Norway next, where striker Erling Haaland looks to continue his strong tournament run. The victory demonstrates England’s ability to adapt under hostile conditions, suggesting a serious challenge for the trophy in the quarter‑finals.
