Who stands out?

England produce their best display of the World Cup to beat Mexico in a thriller at the Azteca to reach the quarter-finals.

Only one host nation remains in the World Cup. England eliminated Mexico in the Round of 16 after a 3-2 loss on Sunday. While England came out on top, Mexico led in most statistical categories. It controlled possession 67 percent to 33 percent,

England survived a red card, a late Mexican onslaught and the fury of the Azteca to dump the co-hosts out of the tournament in a World Cup classic. England had appeared to be coasting to victory when Jude Bellingham scored two goals in as many first-half minutes.

With Spain yet to concede at the 2026 World Cup and on the brink of another tournament record, BBC Sport examines the numbers behind the shutouts.

Erling Haaland headed in the go-ahead goal in the 79th minute and scored again before the end of regulation time, carrying Norway into the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time with a 2-1 win over Brazil that showcased the young striker on soccer’s biggest stage.

Erling Haaland inspired Norway to one of the great shocks of the 2026 World Cup, knocking out five-time champions Brazil. Haaland headed Norway in front late in an entertainingly end-to-end game and then made sure of the win by hammering a low shot past Alisson from outside the box.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal will take on Spain in a World Cup round of 16 game on Monday, July 6. The winner will advance to the semifinals, which will consist of the final eight teams remaining in the tournament.
