🧠 Match Summary

vs

England produced a stunning smash-and-grab in Mexico City, defeating the host nation 2-3 in a pulsating Round of 16 clash. Jude Bellingham was the architect of England's victory, striking twice in the space of two minutes — first at 36' and again at 38' — to give the Three Lions an early stranglehold. Harry Kane converted a penalty on the hour mark to extend the lead, before Julián Quiñones pulled one back just before half-time and Raúl Jiménez netted from the spot at 69' to set up a nervy finale.

The statistics told a remarkable story: Mexico dominated with 67% possession, 20 shots, and 12 corners to England's two, yet both sides registered five shots on target. England's clinical efficiency and Bellingham's brilliance proved decisive, despite finishing with ten men following a red card, as Faghani's whistle confirmed one of the tournament's most dramatic upsets.
