England’s men’s national football team defeated FIFA World Cup 2026 co-hosts Mexico 3-2 in a dramatic Round of 16 clash, with Harry Kane’s wife Katie Kane sharing her excitement and match-day style on Instagram

The England men’s national football team beat FIFA World Cup 2026 co-hosts Mexico 3-2 in a thrilling Round of 16 encounter at the Estadio Azteca. The match got underway at 7pm local time in Mexico City on Sunday, July 5, 2026, meaning fans back home in England had to remain awake until 2am on Monday (July 6) morning to witness the drama.

Following a one-hour delay due to the lightning storms, England star Jude Bellingham stunned the home crowd by scoring twice in just 98 seconds during the opening period (36′ and 38′). Julián Quiñones reduced the deficit for Mexico just before half-time (42′), before England right-back Jarell Quansah was sent off in the 54th minute following a VAR review for a reckless tackle.

Despite playing with 10 men, Harry Kane converted a spot-kick in the 60th minute to make it 3-1. Kane then conceded a penalty himself, which Raúl Jiménez dispatched in the 69th minute to ensure a tense finale.

Jordan Pickford made outstanding stops, while England boss Thomas Tuchel brought on defensive reinforcements including John Stones and Dan Burn to survive 11 agonising minutes of stoppage time and secure the win.

The result marks the first time in World Cup history that any team has beaten Mexico at the Azteca Stadium. Furthermore, Bellingham became the first player since Diego Maradona in 1986 to score twice in a single World Cup match at the ground.

As supporters back home celebrated the victory, numerous players’ wives and girlfriends (WAGs) also took to social media to express their delight following the result.

Harry Kane’s wife Katie Kane shared a post on her Instagram page to show followers she was ‘game ready’ ahead of kick-off, revealing the outfit she had chosen for the occasion.

Katie, 33, donned a white bespoke halter-neck football shirt crafted as a custom vest/corset with her husband’s surname, “Kane,” emblazoned down the side in red. She teamed this with a sophisticated blue jacket and trousers.

The professional fitness instructor rounded off her stylish ensemble with glowing makeup and a sleek bun hairstyle, beaming brightly at the camera.

She captioned the post: “Game ready, let’s go England.”

Fans swiftly flooded the post with likes, amassing over 59,000 in total.

“You are stunning Kate! Let’s go England,” praised one admirer.

Another commented: “You look amazing! Come on England.”

A third added: “In Kane we trust, you look insane.”

Katie later posted to her Instagram story, showing herself sheltering from the rain in the stands, with overlay text reading: “England! What a team.”

Harry Kane and his wife Katie are childhood sweethearts who first met while attending school together in East London. The couple share four children and currently live predominantly in Munich, Germany, though they have recently completed a luxury estate in Surrey, England.

Following their triumph over Mexico, England are now set to take on Norway in the World Cup quarter-finals.

The match is scheduled to be held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, US, with kick-off at 10pm BST (5:00pm local time).

UK fans can watch all the live action on ITV1 and ITVX.
