Bellingham’s Brace Ends Mexico’s 13-Year Unbeaten Azteca Run as England Reach World Cup Quarters
England secured a dramatic 3-2 win over Mexico at Estadio Azteca to book their place in the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals. Jude Bellingham’s two historic goals ended Mexico’s 13-year unbeaten record at the iconic stadium. Harry Kane added a decisive penalty after Jarrel Quansah’s red card handed Mexico a lifeline. The Three Lions had earlier come from behind to beat DR Congo in the round of 16. Manager Thomas Tuchel made three changes, while Mexico stuck with the same starting lineup that beat Ecuador. Bellingham’s brace marked the first World Cup two-goal performance at Azteca since Diego Maradona in 1986. Despite late pressure and a goal from Raul Jiménez, England held on for victory.
