Mexico threw the kitchen sink at England—and could have easily walked away with victory on any other night—but it was ultimately the Three Lions that punched their ticket to the quarterfinal, winning 3–2 on Sunday night at the hallowed Estadio Azteca.
It marked only the third loss for El Tri out of 90 matches in the otherwise unconquerable fortress, a defeat achieved by the pure wizardry of Jude Bellingham. The Real Madrid star became supernatural and scored twice in the span of two first-half minutes to take a lead that Mexico ultimately could not overcome.
