Mexico didnât concede a goal until they met England.
England got off to a spectacular start against Mexico in their FIFA World Cup round of 16 match at Azteca Stadium in Mexico. They scored two goals against a side that hadnât conceded a goal.
Mexicoâs clean-sheet record was finally broken against England. El Tri recorded their first FIFA World Cup 2026 goal conceded in a round of 16 match.
El Tri, who had run an impressive 2026 World Cup in which they didnât concede a single goal until the round of 16, finally let in two goals against England.
Many expected it to be Englandâs marksman Harry Kane. But it was Jude Bellingham who broke their clean sheet record in the competition with his brace in the round of 16.

The Real Madrid midfielder opened the scoring in the 36th minute of the game before doubling his tally with another goal in two minutes.
His goals were also the end of El Triâs clean sheet, who have been impressive in the competition so far at home in Azteca Stadium.
His first goal came when Bukayo Saka put in an excellent cross for Bellingham to dive in the box to head the ball home, followed by another impressive goal.
Meanwhile, England, who have endured a patchy run into the round of 16 of the competition, got off to a brilliant start. It was one of the best starts for the Three Lions in the event.
Two goals in the first half gave the European giants a head start. It was a great lead before the co-host reduced the deficit by one goal following a goal from Julian Quinones.
