Summary
Harry Kane restored England’s two-goal cushion on 60 minutes, drilling in a penalty to make it 3-1 after Mexico had threatened a comeback.
Jarell Quansah was sent off four minutes earlier for a high, studs-up challenge on Jesus Gallardo, leaving England to protect the lead with 10 men and costing him any quarter-final if they advance.
Jude Bellingham had put England in control with two quick first-half goals before Julian Quinones cut the deficit for Mexico in a match that resumed after an earlier weather delay.
At Estadio Azteca, Mexico had already exposed England’s shaky defending and pushed numbers forward, but the penalty swung momentum back to Thomas Tuchel’s side.
