England's double strike ends Mexico's quarter‑final hopes

England's early double from Jude Bellingham ended Mexico's hopes of reaching the quarter‑finals for the first time in four decades. The English forward scored in the 36th and 38th minutes, forcing Mexico into a chase.

Julian Quinoz reduced the deficit, yet a penalty conversion by Harry Kane restored England's two‑goal advantage. A late chance from Raul Jimenez from twelve yards was insufficient to level the score, sending Mexico out of the tournament.

Aguirre lamented the three mistakes that allowed England to dominate, stating that the team needed a perfect performance to win. He praised the squad's determination but accepted responsibility for the exit, noting that the 26 players had given their all.
