Hugo Broos played against each other in the 1986 World Cup. So, Tony was called out there. And there's Hugo FOR THE MEXICANS. QUIñONES BIG GOAL. WELL, IAN, I TOLD YOU SOUTH Africa do want to possess the ball. The one thing you cannot do is turn the ball over. It falls to Quiñones. And Williams is going to want that one back.
Good first touch. Quiñones cuts inside on his preferred right foot. Good strike. Williams can't get his legs shut fast enough. One nothing to Mexico. seems to have taken over that role. Jiménez does well. Here's Quiñones again. ALVARADO'S CROSS IN. AND THERE'S THE GOAL HE WAS LOOKING FOR. IT'S RAúL JIMéNEZ. AND IT'S 2-0. A WORLD CUP GOAL AT LAST. WELL, IAN, THE CROWD WANTED A LITTLE INSPIRATION. Starts with Raúl Jiménez. Through that man, Quinones again. Jimenez follows his run into the box.
Easy header for him. And you can see what it means to him. Tears all around. Could not be happier for him. Two nothing Mexico. It's the Eric Lira. Now Quinones. Jimenez is waiting for the cross. Jimenez was trying to guide it. That was a good header behind him by Leaky. He hooked it and the goalkeeper drops IT. IT'S HIS AND IT'S IN. MEXICO LEAD. LUIS ROMO. TERRIBLE MISTAKE BY THE SOUTH KOREAN GOALKEEPER. THE CROWD GOES BANANAS AND THEY'LL RAISE A SHOT OF TEQUILA TO LUIS ROMO. MEXICO ONE, SOUTH KOREA NIL.
YEAH, and there was absolutely no need for the goalkeeper to come and claim that. And if you do cuz of the body in front, you got to punch it. Tries to catch it. Gets stuck on his own defender. And Romo's just there in the right time in the right moment. Sometimes you get a bit of luck, Fletch. It just falls to you. And he's there and he pounces. Capitalized on the mistake, but he's got to do better, the goalkeeper. It's a horrible moment for Kim Seung-gyu. He knew the moment it started to slip from his fingers that he was in trouble. And Romo was there to score his fifth goal in a Mexico shirt. much difference at all.
It shows waiting in the That's a ball. That's a chance. IT'S A GREAT SAVE. It's a double save. IT'S OUTSTANDING FROM RANGEL. THE MAN FROM GUADALAJARA IS MEXICO'S HERO. WOW, HOW'S HE KEPT that out? I've no idea. That's It's a brilliant ball in again. Some can't believe it. Again What's this? AND HE SAYS, "NOT IN MY CITY on this NIGHT ARE YOU SCORING PAST ME." BRILLIANT FROM RANGEL.
Great save. Oh, that's the one. I'll tell you what he does well to hold onto it. Well, Vasquez nearly knocks the ball into the back OF THE NET HIMSELF. THAT'S AN outstanding save with his legs and somehow he reaches THAT. LOOK AT VASQUEZ coming in. I love it. Astonishing goalkeeping from Raul Rangel, one of Guadalajara's own stepping up when Mexico needed him. Can't make it up, can't you? No. Do you know what? And his body weight's going left, so it's difficult. He gets down low with his right hand.
Somehow kept that going. SHOVELED IT OFF. ROBARO. AND HOW ABOUT THIS? STYLISH. REALLY STYLISH. MATEO CHAVEZ. LISTEN TO THE MEXICAN ROAR. The adventurous run from the left back pays dividends for Mexico. Well, the Mexican machine just keeps on rolling. And Czech Republic had one foot out of the competition and this is why. Three players around him. Romero and they can't get a tackle in. Miss another tackle and then the composure from Chavez. He's got the time to pick his spot. He's got the time to open up onto his favorite left foot and pick his moment and what a moment.
Martínez was buttressing the defense, found himself all the way back. Mora getting on the ball. But egging him on, the fans around us here at the Azteca. SáNCHEZ UP THERE IN THE ATTACKING POSITION. CERVANTES WAS IN TROUBLE. QUIñONES! [screaming] FOR MEXICO! THEY'RE RACING AWAY NOW. QUIñONES! MORE MEXICAN MASTERY. WELL, it's not a pretty finish, but it's a wonderful move. Brilliant through ball by the young man, Mora. The vision. Cervantes just decides not to go with his hands and then from there, Quiñones just has stabbed it home, but they've stepped it up a gear in this second half, Mexico. And the Czech Republic, Czechia
really under the pressure when Mexico stepped it up. Now, do they have a third goal in them. Santiago Giménez was there. ALVARADO TRYING TO TEE IT UP AND THERE IS THE THIRD GOAL AND IT COMES FROM ÁLVARO FIDALGO. AS THEY SAY HERE IN MEXICO, ¡AY, CARAMBA! This has been a cruise of a second half. Ochoa with the kick. He played a part in it and he's just opened up for them. From that point, it was say your pick who's going to finish it off. And it has been a walkover in this second half. Fidalgo the sub
gets a moment to remember. Ochoa has his moment. We'll give him an assist. It's this tournament so far and look at the green space he was able to run into. Julián Quiñones and oh, THAT'S HOW THEY DO IT. He made sure he remained onside. And it's Viking Yonas FOR HIS THIRD GOAL AT THIS WORLD CUP. WELL, it's to perfection. The timing of the run is perfect, and the finish is to match. And it is over the right full-back, Franco. He's pressed in. He's left that space. Just the weight of the pass, the measure.
His teammates are asking for it. There is no chance. He's seen this before. He's done this Touch, movement. He's just too quick, too good at the moment. And he gets a break of the ball here, Raul Jimenez. And the defender's IN TROUBLE. IT'S GOING MEXICO'S WAY. RAUL JIMENEZ JOINS IN THE FUN. MEXICO ARE DOING THEIR LEVEL BEST TO LIFT the curse of the fifth game once and for all. Well, they are flying, and it's half an hour of dream football from Mexico. They may lose the ball once, but once it comes back to Raul Jimenez, it's fantastic one-touch football, bouncing it around, finding the space, 18 yd out. He's in 4 yd of space. He's
got all the time he wants to take his touch, put his laces through the ball, into the top corner. They could not have dreamed of a better start. The Ecuadorian players have gathered now in the center circle and saying, "We need to get a grip with this." Now, cuz long since extinguished. AND JUST LIKE THAT, THE CURSE IS BROKEN. THERE WILL BE A FIFTH GAME AT LONG LAST FOR MEXICO. Two first half goals. Quiñones and Jiménez. It's the left foot of Alvarado into the danger area. THERE'S THE SHOT. THEY'VE GOT ONE BACK.
IT'S QUIñONES. IT'S LIFT OFF IN THE AZTECA. IT'S GAME ON IN THE LAST 16. MEXICO BACK IN IT. AN EXPLOSION OF MEXICAN PASSION. An explosion of MEXICAN NOISE. A MASSIVE GOAL FOR MEXICO scored by Quiñones. What a finish from Quiñones. Konza just clears it into a dangerous area. Quiñones sends it in. Sánchez clips it in. Taken away from Edson Álvarez. Headed by Harry Kane. Made a think in there. Repeated for a penalty, Mexico. I'll tell you what, Owen. Somebody's lit the touch paper and this place has gone off.
It's all kicking off. And Jude Bellingham We've also seen the first bench clearing brawl of the 2026 World Cup. It was like the Yankees against the Red Sox down there. Yeah. Come on. Oh, they're going to take a look at this. Mark Clattenburg, they're taking a look at it. You know what? It took me many, many replays to see this. And what does Harry Kane? It looks like I thought Harry Kane had played the ball. He doesn't. He kicks the underside of the leg. This is a similar situation that England had in a recent game against I think it was against uh Was it Croatia in the opening game where was it Saka had his leg kicked or Madueke had his leg kicked? And when you
get you kick underneath somebody's leg and make a contact without touching the ball, a penalty kick will be awarded. So, Nicolas Gallo, the Colombian video assistant referee, is a busy man tonight. He was involved in the Quansah red card, and he's now involved here. He's sent Alireza Faghani from Australia to the screen to take a look at it. He's going to give it, you know. Well, he did Harry Kane, he's just trying to clear the ball. And it is a Gutiérrez, I think he does brilliant. Just gets his leg across.
He's going to give it. We're about to find out. He has Saka holds his breath. Number nine, Kieran Trippier, and the final decision is a penalty. You were right. I don't think it will stay 3-1. No, one thing I would say is he doesn't mince his words, the ref does he? No. And I'll tell you something else as well. This is the first time tonight we've had a double umbrella scenario. So, there's obviously more beer being thrown with a penalty. There's the challenge. Kane on Gutiérrez.
Harry thinks he's clear just to clear the ball. Gutiérrez just gets his foot on top. Harry doesn't even think that's going to be an issue whatsoever. But again, a bit like Gordon on Longstaff, he just gets in front of him. Who's he booked there, Anderson? I think that's Anderson who's been sent away with the yellow card. We'll get it confirmed, but it looked like Elliot Anderson. The one thing you would say there's been a lot of decisions made by the referees, but they've got them all right. So, Raul Jimenez, who has a 100% penalty record in the Premier League, is the only man that Mexico would want in a situation like this.
Jordan Pickford waits. England 3-1 up. Concentration on the face of Jimenez. The Azteca awaits. Brilliant penalty. Never in doubt. ICE COOL UNDER PRESSURE. 3-2 IN THE AZTECA. GAME ON AGAIN. What a brilliant penalty from Raul Jimenez. I've been in football for a very long time. I've never heard a stadium this make this amount of noise.
