Sharjah 24: With victory over Ecuador, Mexico moved into the World Cup round of 16.

Mexico, one of the three host nations of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, secured a comfortable 2-0 win over Ecuador to claim their fourth consecutive victory and book a place in the last 16 on Wednesday at the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.

Goals came from Julian Quinones (22), and veteran Raul Jimenez (31).

Mexico will face either the Democratic Republic of Congo or England at the same venue on Sunday in a quarter-final clash.

Kick-off was delayed by one hour due to a thunderstorm, and players did not go onto the pitch for warm-up because of heavy rainfall in Mexico City.
