England lead 2-1 in the first half against Mexico

England took a 2-1 lead against Mexico in the first half of the 2026 World Cup last-16 match thanks to Jude Bellingham’s double. The two teams will face each other at 7 am Bangladesh time today (July 6) at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City due to heavy lightning.
Hosts Mexico started playing very aggressive football from the start. On the other hand, England decided to handle the pressure of the opponent with some defensive tactics. Jude Bellingham scored a double in just 90 seconds of the first half of the match. First, he headed in a cross from Bukayo Soka. Then about a minute and a half later, he scored his second goal from a pass from Harry Kane to give England a 2-0 lead.
England then got a free-kick. Julian Quinones took advantage of the opportunity to make the difference 2-1 with a brilliant goal. After this goal, the Three Lions came under more pressure. Mexico kept the England defence busy with one attack after another. Although England were ahead on the scoreline, the match situation indicated that anything could happen in the second half.
