England has handed Mexico its first World Cup loss at Estadio Azteca with a wild 3-2 victory to reach the quarter-finals.

Jude Bellingham scored two goals 98 seconds apart on Sunday night (Monday AEST), Harry Kane converted a penalty when England was down to 10 men, and the Three Lions hung on to end the co-host’s tournament.

England moves on to face Norway on Saturday in Miami Gardens, Florida, for a spot in the semi-finals.

Bellingham stunned the crowd of more than 80,000 at a venue where Mexico was unbeaten in 10 World Cup matches, including three this year, when he scored on a header in the 36th minute and again in the 38th on a pass from Kane.

Julian Quinones scored for El Tri in the 42nd minute, and the game appeared to turn in Mexico’s favour when England’s Jarell Quansah was sent off in the 54th for a dangerous foul on Jesus Gallardo.

Australian referee Alireza Faghani remained a busy man, and England was awarded a penalty for a challenge by Mexico goalkeeper Raul Rangel. Kane converted for his sixth goal of this tournament and 14th of his World Cup career, matching Gerd Muller of West Germany for fifth on the scoring list.

Kane six goals leave him one behind Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race.

Kane then committed a foul that made him the first player since at least 1966 to score and concede a penalty in a World Cup game. Raul Jimenez converted the kick with a stutter-step approach to move El Tri within 3-2.

Mexico attacked relentlessly over the final 21 minutes, plus 11 minutes of stoppage time. But England’s defenders and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford held steady.

Mexico has not reached the quarter-finals since hosting in 1986. Since then, it has lost in the round of 16 eight times, failed to advance past the group stage in 2022 and was disqualified from the 1990 tournament.

Norway knocks out Brazil in win for ages

Erling Haaland scored, and Andreas Schjelderup jumped on his teammate’s back.

Haaland scored again, and Schjelderup leapt up again.

Heading in the go-ahead goal in the 79th minute and scoring again before the end of regulation time, Haaland put Norway on his back and carried them into the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time with a 2-1 defeat of Brazil on Sunday (local time) that showcased the towering striker on soccer’s biggest stage.

“Maybe this will write history in Norway,” Haaland said in New Jersey.

“Everyone just need to enjoy themselves. This is just an insane day. It’s one of the most insane days in Norwegian history. Just enjoy it, embrace it and enjoy the moment.”

Neymar, who is 34, scored a late consolation goal and then said it was his final game playing for Brazil’s national team.

“I tried,” Neymar said.

“It started here at MetLife Stadium, and I finished here. It is now over.”

After being a non-factor for much of the afternoon and having limited touches, Haaland spoke at the second-half hydration break with coach Stale Solbakken, who told him to drain his energy and go for it.

Haaland turned it on when it mattered most, getting the right side of his head on the ball after a perfect set-up by Andreas Schjelderup, who entered at halftime.

Haaland scored a little over minutes later for his seventh of the tournament, through Danilo’s legs to tie Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé of France in the race for the Golden Boot.

“It felt it was a gift from God that it actually went into the net,” Haaland said.

Haaland scored in his 14th consecutive competitive match internationally, a stretch featuring 27 goals. He has 62 goals in 54 games with Norway.

At the other end, goalkeeper Orjan Nyland was stellar. He made a crucial stop early, diving to his left to deny Bruno Guimaraes’ penalty kick in the 14th minute, then got his left hand on a shot by Endrick late when Norway was hanging on to a one-goal lead.

The only goal Nyland allowed was to Neymar on a penalty kick late in stoppage time, which changed just the final score.

Norway’s women’s team won the World Cup in 1995, but the men have qualified only four times and not since 1998. They had not gone further than the round of 16.

“I think that all Norwegian citizens are experiencing the night of a lifetime,” Solbakken said.

“Some people say that we have changed Norway forever. Probably, they will party for a week or so.”

It was Brazil’s seventh consecutive loss to European opponents in the knockout round at the World Cup, dating to beating Germany in the 2002 final.
