England came away with a gritty 3-2 win over co-hosts Mexico in the World Cup Round of 16 on Sunday. The Three Lions’ victory was marked by a strong performance from Jude Bellingham, who scored two goals.
Game Highlights
The first goal came against the run of play, with Declan Rice driving down the field and swinging the ball wide to Bukayo Saka, who then clipped it to the back post for Bellingham to head home. Bellingham’s second goal came just two minutes later, after Mexico’s Gilberto Mora was stripped of the ball near midfield.
Despite Mexico’s efforts to mount a comeback, England held on to their lead, with Harry Kane scoring a penalty in the 60th minute to make it 3-1. Mexico’s Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez scored in the 42nd and 69th minutes, respectively, but it was not enough to overcome England’s lead.
