England stuns Mexico 3-2 at Estadio Azteca in World Cup instant classic

At the Estadio Azteca — a place where history had long protected the home side — England quietly rewrote the record books on Sunday, defeating Mexico 3-2 in a World Cup match that tested the limits of resilience, composure, and belief. Jude Bellingham's early brilliance gave England a foothold in hostile territory, and though a red card stripped them of a man and Mexico pressed with the full weight of 87,500 voices behind them, England held. Some victories are about more than advancing in a tournament; they are about proving that certain fortresses, however storied, are not unbreakable.
