Mexico ended a 40-year World Cup knockout drought. ⚽️🇲🇽
El Tri beat Ecuador 2-0 in Mexico City on June 30, with first-half goals from Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez sending the co-hosts into the 2026 World Cup round of 16. It was Mexico’s first men’s World Cup knockout win since a 2-0 victory over Bulgaria at the 1986 tournament.
Coach Javier Aguirre started in that 1986 side and now has Mexico through again on home soil. The result keeps Mexico in Mexico City for another knockout match on Sunday against the winner of England and DR Congo.
