England captain Harry Kane scored a crucial penalty and delivered an impassioned post-match tribute to his teammates after the Three Lions overcame Mexico 3–2 in a pulsating FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 tie in Mexico City, booking a quarter-final place despite finishing with ten men. Jude Bellingham struck twice to put England in command before a red card for Jarell Quansah and two Mexican goals — including a late Raul Jimenez penalty — turned the match into a nervy finale that England ultimately survived through resilience and discipline. The victory ended Mexico's unbeaten home World Cup record across the 1970, 1986 and 2026 tournaments, and sends Thomas Tuchel's side into a quarter-final against Norway — who knocked out Brazil — at Miami Stadium on 11 July, with Kane now on six tournament goals and firmly in contention for the Golden Boot.
