England booked their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium. The last-16 match was delayed by an hour because of severe weather before Jude Bellingham scored twice in just 98 seconds to put England ahead. Julian Quiñones reduced the deficit before half-time, while Jarell Quansah was sent off early in the second half. Harry Kane converted a penalty to restore England's lead after Anthony Gordon was fouled. Raúl Jiménez scored from the spot for Mexico, but England held firm with 10 men to seal a dramatic win and set up a quarter-final clash with Norway. (PC: X)
