A serious incident marked the clash between England and Mexico at the FIFA World Cup, where midfielder Jude Bellingham was targeted with a green laser from the stands during crucial moments of the match.
The atmosphere at the Azteca Stadium was extremely tense. In addition to the constant booing of the English players, the home fans also threw bottles onto the pitch, while a laser was used in an attempt to distract Bellingham during the attacking moves. Fortunately, the beam did not hit the English midfielder in the eyes.
Despite the pressure from the crowd, Bellingham produced another excellent performance. He scored twice, first after an assist from Bukayo Saka and then after a pass from Harry Kane, to earn his third Man of the Match award in the tournament.

The match was also marked by other tense episodes. Jarrell Quansah was sent off early in the second half after the referee overturned the initial decision following a VAR review for a serious foul.
On the other hand, Mexico's players protested strongly, claiming that Nico O'Reilly had elbowed Jorge Sánchez. However, television footage showed that the claim was unfounded.
An unusual episode also occurred off the pitch, with Jordan Henderson receiving a yellow card, although he did not play in the match. It was later revealed that he had suffered a wrist injury during the celebrations, after tripping over an advertising board.
Despite the hostile atmosphere and difficult playing conditions at the Azteca Stadium, Thomas Tuchel's team managed to win 3-2 against Mexico. This victory is considered historic, as it was only Mexico's third defeat at the Azteca in the last 60 years, confirming England's excellent form and their ambitions to go all the way to the end of the tournament.
