Mexico City — England ended Mexico’s World Cup 2026 campaign with a hard-fought 2-1 victory at the Estadio Azteca on Sunday, advancing to the quarterfinals thanks to a brace from Jude Bellingham.
The Three Lions withstood intense pressure from the hosts, particularly in the closing stages, but Bellingham’s first-half double proved enough to secure a historic win on Mexican soil.
Mexico pulled one back through Raúl Jiménez, but the equalizer never came as England held on to eliminate the host nation in the Round of 16.
The defeat marks another early exit for Mexico, who have now failed to reach the quarterfinals in eight consecutive World Cups.
