As if the first half between Mexico and England hadn’t already been wild enough, the second half takes it up another notch.
It all began in the 54th minute: after a challenge on Jesús Gallardo, England defender Jarell Quansah was sent off with a straight red card. Referee Alireza Faghani had not punished the incident at first, but after a VAR review he showed the red card.
The following incident was far less debatable. Mexico goalkeeper Raúl Rangel brought down Anthony Gordon in the penalty area, and Harry Kane converted the resulting spot kick.
But just a few minutes later, Kane was once again—this time unintentionally—at the center of the action. Following a corner, he tried to clear the ball but also caught Brian Gutierrez’s foot in the process. VAR intervened again, and once more Faghani pointed to the spot.
Raúl Jimenez scored from the penalty spot to make it 2-3 and keep Mexico’s quarter-final hopes alive against ten-man England. What a match!
