MexicoRaúl Rangel Will regret rush of blood that earned England their ultimately decisive penalty. Otherwise dealt with routine tasks. 6Jorge Sánchez Offered lung-busting support from right-back but struggled when one-on-one against the lively Gordon. 7César Montes Towering centre-back caused problems at set pieces before departing at the break, seemingly through injury. 6Johan Vásquez Calm, canny distribution from the back but found England tough to deal with when they asked questions. Booked. 6Jesús Gallardo Got forward tirelessly and linked well with Quiñones, but let Saka get cross in for crucial opener. 7Gilberto Mora Local darling produced some lovely turns and had first-half shot blocked. Replaced as Mexico chased game. 6Érik Lira Metronome in holding midfield position. Engaging battle with Bellingham and could not prevent him finding room for brace. 6Luis Romo Industrious midfield presence who looked sharp on and off the ball. Wasteful with one first-half strike. 7Roberto Alvarado Popped up everywhere trying to spark Mexico. Some delicious deliveries and would have had assist but for Pickford. 7Raúl Jiménez Lethal from spot as usual but will wonder what might have been without two brilliant Pickford saves earlier on. 7Julián Quiñones Prolific scorer blasted Mexico back into first-half contention. Constant threat with clever runs inside and out. 7Subs: Edson Álvarez (for Montes, ht) Mexico defence collapsed for a spell after veteran’s introduction. 5; Santiago Gimenez (for Mora, 61) Attacker could not find leveller. Injured late on. 6; Brian Gutiérrez (for Romo, 61) Won penalty soon after his arrival. 6; Álvaro Fidalgo (for Sánchez, 79) Tried to pull strings in late push. 6; Guillermo Martínez (for Quiñones, 81) Could not match impact of dangerman he replaced. 5Dismay for Mexico after their World Cup exit. Photograph: Bradley Collyer/PAEnglandJordan Pickford Huge early save from Jiménez turned out to be pivotal. Backed it up with another flying stop later. 8Jarell Quansah Solid enough until his night, and England’s bright start to second half, went to pot with idiotic dismissal. 4skip past newsletter promotionafter newsletter promotionEzri Konsa Uncertain display, losing Jiménez for first-half headers and defending loosely for Quiñones’s goal. Later moved to right-back. 5Marc Guéhi Grew into the game as it went on, relishing chance to lead rearguard action. One phenomenal late challenge. 7Nico O’Reilly Careless early throw-ins left Tuchel unimpressed but recovered well, smacking a post before departing as England recalibrated late on. Booked. 6Elliot Anderson Tasked with looking after Mora and largely handled the prodigy well. Tenacity played a part in Bellingham’s second goal. 7Declan Rice Steady, largely conservative display perhaps tempered by early booking. But bursting 60-yard run opened the door for England. 7Bukayo Saka Sluggish, sometimes sloppy start but showed up with delightful cross for the opener. Sacrificed for Stones after red card. 7Jude Bellingham A supreme display. Dialled in from the start, bust a gut to score twice and goal-saving challenge denied Mexico parity. 9Anthony Gordon Excellent performance at both ends. Won England’s penalty, had beating of Sánchez and tracked back until the end. 8Harry Kane Delivered yet again with emphatic penalty. Unselfish assist for second goal, led from front and got away with own spot-kick concession. 7Subs: John Stones (for Saka, 57) Calm head in three-man backline late on. 7; Dan Burn (for Anderson, 75) Booming headers and blocks after introduction. 8; Djed Spence (for O’Reilly, 74) Did enough as deputy left-back. 6; Morgan Rogers (for Kane, 90) No scope to make significant impact. 6
