In their match against Mexico, the team conceded three goals at the Azteca Stadium for the first time since August 1999, when they lost 4-3 to Brazil. Remarkably, Mexico allowed more goals in this game (3) than in their previous ten World Cup matches at the venue combined (2). Despite Mexico's relentless pursuit of an equalizer after falling behind 2-3, England's defense held firm, securing their place in the quarter-finals where they will meet Norway on July 11. Jude Bellingham became the first player since Diego Maradona in 1986 to score twice in a World Cup match at the Azteca, leading England to a thrilling 3-2 victory over Mexico on Sunday (local time) and setting up a quarter-final showdown against Norway on July 11.
