Mexico vs England Live Score Updates, FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Today (MEX vs ENG Football Match Scorecard & Commentary):
England hold a thrilling 2-1 lead over Mexico at half-time in a pulsating FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 clash at the Estadio Azteca.
After a cagey opening marked by fierce tackles, heavy rain and a partisan home crowd, Jude Bellingham took centre stage with two goals in the space of just two minutes.
The midfielder first headed home from Bukayo Saka’s inviting cross in the 36th minute before calmly tapping in Harry Kane’s pass following a lightning counterattack in the 38th.
Mexico hit back before the break through Julián Quiñones, who capitalised on Ezri Konsa’s poor clearance to finish from close range and reduce the deficit. El Tri then piled on the pressure in stoppage time, with Jordan Pickford producing a superb save to deny Raúl Jiménez’s header before Bellingham capped off a sensational first half with a crucial goal-line block from César Montes’ follow-up effort.
England head into the second half narrowly ahead, but Mexico’s late surge ensures the Round of 16 tie remains finely poised at 2-1.
