Match report

Mexico scouting

Biggest strengthauto

Clean sheet record — zero goals conceded in 3 games.

Biggest weaknessauto

Untested in true knockout pressure so far.

England scouting

Biggest strength

Bellingham's box arrivals plus Kane's link play under pressure.

Biggest weakness

Tempo control when an opponent sits deep — the press loosens.
