England vs Mexico Highlights, FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16: England survived a wild, storm-delayed World Cup night in Mexico City, beating Mexico 3-2 to reach the quarterfinals. Jude Bellingham was the difference-maker early, striking twice in quick succession before Julian Quiñones pulled one back before half-time. The second half turned chaotic when Jarell Quansah was sent off, but Harry Kane’s penalty restored England’s cushion. Mexico refused to go quietly, with Raul Jimenez converting from the spot to set up a tense finish. Backed by a roaring home crowd, Mexico pushed hard late, but England held on through pressure, controversy and fatigue. They now face Norway in the quarterfinals.
