In a stunning first half, Bellingham netted two goals within just two minutes, catching the Mexican defense off guard. However, Julian Quinones pulled one back for El Tri before the break, making it 2-1.

The second half proved equally dramatic. In the 53rd minute, Jarrell Quansah received a red card, leaving England a man down and shifting the momentum toward Mexico.

Kane stepped up and converted, extending England’s lead to 3-1.

Yet, Mexico showed resilience. In the 69th minute, following another chaotic sequence in England’s penalty area, they were awarded a penalty of their own. Raul Jimenez took it confidently, narrowing the score to 3-2.

Despite being down a player, England pushed forward, absorbing pressure from Mexico while maintaining their lead. In the end, they claimed a 3-2 victory, advancing to the quarter-finals against Norway. This win also meant that Mexico faced their first World Cup defeat at the famed stadium.

In celebration, England supporters joyfully sang ‘Wonderwall,’ echoing their jubilation across the sea.
