After the break, the match took a new turn with the sending-off of England defender Jarell Quansah in the 54th minute for a dangerous tackle on a Mexican striker. Reduced to ten men, England nevertheless managed to extend their lead thanks to Harry Kane, who scored the third goal from the penalty spot in the 60th minute.
Raúl Jiménez converted a penalty in the 69th minute to make it 3-2, before a final stretch marked by intense Mexican pressure. Despite being down to ten men, England remained solid defensively, holding on until the final whistle to secure their qualification.
Thanks to this success, England will face Norway in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.
