Published July 6, 2026 · Updated July 6, 2026 · Fox Sports

England progressed to the World Cup quarterfinals after a 3-2 victory over Mexico in a hard‑fought Round of 16 match. Bellingham’s two goals, Kane’s penalty, and a resilient defense after Quansah was sent off sealed the win.

England opened the scoring with an early goal from Jude Bellingham, and he added a second in the first half to give the Three Lions a 2‑1 advantage at the break. Mexico pushed forward in the second half, but a 54th‑minute red card to Jarell Quansah left England a man down. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Anthony Gordon earned a penalty that Harry Kane converted, extending the lead. Mexico answered with a penalty of their own, but England’s compact defense held firm, preventing further chances and securing the 3‑2 win. truewildgame.com
