10-man England beat Mexico 3-2 to advance to World Cup quarter-finals
Jude Bellingham scored twice and Harry Kane added a penalty as England survived a red card and a Mexico rally.
- On Sunday, July 5, England secured a 3-2 victory over World Cup co-hosts Mexico at Estadio Azteca, advancing to the quarter-finals. Jude Bellingham scored twice and Harry Kane converted a penalty to overcome the hosts.
- Kick-Off at the 7,220ft-high Estadio Azteca was delayed one hour due to fierce rainstorms and lightning safety protocols. England faced daunting conditions at a venue where Mexico had lost only two of 89 previous competitive matches.
- Defender Jarell Quansah received a straight red card in the 54th minute following a VAR review for a dangerous challenge on Jesús Gallardo. England then played with 10 men but mounted a resilient defensive stand to protect their lead.
- Supporters stayed up until gone 4am after the government extended pub hours to 5am on Monday. Two-goal hero Jude Bellingham urged supporters to "text your bosses and tell them you're not coming in, simple as that," while Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer called it "one of the greatest England matches I've ever seen."
- England advances to face Norway in the quarter-finals on July 11 in Miami after the Scandinavian side defeated Brazil 2-1. The victory ends Mexico's deepest run at the tournament in 40 years despite the co-hosts' historical fortress status at Azteca.
