What Happened: England vs Mexico on July 5

England dominated the early stages, with Jude Bellingham scoring twice in quick succession to give the Three Lions a 2-0 lead by the 38th minute. Julián Quiñones answered for Mexico with a well-taken volley just before halftime, cutting the deficit to 2-1 at the break.

The second half turned chaotic when Jarell Quansah received a straight red card in the 54th minute following a VAR review for a dangerous challenge on Jesús Gallardo. England were down to ten men with more than 35 minutes remaining, plus stoppage time. Mexico pressed hard with the numerical advantage. England’s defense held firm, and the Three Lions added a crucial third goal to put the match beyond reach, winning 3-2.
