England secured a 3‑2 victory over co‑host Mexico in the Round of 16, thanks to a brace from Jude Bellingham and a goal from Harry Kane, setting up a quarter‑final clash with Norway. Norway had earlier stunned Brazil 2‑1, with Erling Haaland scoring twice while Neymar’s goal was not enough. In the other tie, France edged Paraguay 1‑0 courtesy of a Kylian Mbappé strike, arranging a quarter‑final meeting with Morocco, which secured its place with a 3‑0 win over fellow co‑host Canada.
