England's goals were scored by Jude Bellingham in the 36th and 38th minutes and Harry Kane in the 60th minute from the penalty spot. Mexico's goals came from Julian Quinones in the 42nd minute and Raul Jimenez in the 69th minute from the penalty spot. England defender Jarell Quansah was sent off in the 54th minute for a serious foul.
Mexico became the second host team to exit the 2026 World Cup. Canada had earlier been eliminated in the round of 16 after losing 3-0 to Morocco. The other host nation, the United States, will play its round-of-16 match against Belgium on July 7.
