On a night of sheer sporting theatre, with the game delayed by an hour because of severe storms, Thomas Tuchel's side even survived Jarell Quansah's red card early in the second half to record one of their finest wins in recent years. Mexico had lost only two of 89 competitive games at their Azteca fortress, but England's cool approach early on allowed them to take command when the outstanding Jude Bellingham scored twice in the space of 98 seconds before half-time. England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was in superb form, twice saving brilliantly from Raul Jimenez, but he was powerless to stop Julian Quinones pulling a goal back for Mexico with a powerful finish three minutes before the break. Mexico were being driven forward by a constant cacophony of sound, which increased when Quansah was sent off for a high challenge on Jesus Gallardo, but England restored their two-goal lead when Harry Kane scored from the spot after Anthony Gordon was brought down by keeper Raul Rangel. Just when England thought they had restored order, Kane was the culprit when he kicked Brian Gutierrez's foot in the area, Jimenez scoring the resulting spot-kick. With England under pressure and in frantic atmosphere, Tuchel brought on Dan Burn and Djed Spence, reverting to a five-man defence to see out 11 minutes of stoppage time for a superb win.

Brazil were left to rue Bruno Guimaraes' missed penalty in the first half as Haaland, who had a quiet game until that moment, stole ahead of centre-back Gabriel to meet a cross from Andreas Schjelderup and put Norway ahead in the 79th minute. The Manchester City striker then sealed Norway's progress with a superb low drive from outside the box in the 90th minute. Brazil were awarded a second penalty in the dying seconds of the game after referee Ismail Elfath deemed Leo Ostigard to have elbowed Casemiro and Neymar converted. But it proved a mere consolation for Brazil, who exit the tournament before the quarter-finals for the first time since 1990.

Paraguay limited the two-time winners to very few chances until substitute Desire Doue was fouled inside the box by Brighton's Diego Gomez and referee Ilgiz Tantashev pointed to the spot after a video assistant referee (VAR) intervention. Mbappe took the penalty and sent Orlando Gill the wrong way to ensure France's progress, as he drew level with Argentina great Lionel Messi on seven goals in the tournament's Golden Boot race. The last-16 tie kicked off in extreme heat, with temperatures soaring to 38C, but it appeared to be no deterrent for France, who dominated possession from the start. However, the Paraguay defence proved difficult to break down and that frustration was evident in the 36th minute when Mbappe lashed out after a foul on him by Andres Cubas. Gustavo Alfaro's side, who upset Germany on penalties in the last 32, defended resolutely during a cagey first half that ended goalless and with neither side registering a shot on target. France showed greater urgency after the break and finally forced Gill into a save through Manu Kone's effort from distance in the 54th minute - their first on target. But it was not until Doue replaced Bradley Barcola on the left wing that Les Bleus found the moment they had been searching for. The 21-year-old Paris St-Germain forward drove into the box four minutes after coming on and danced past a Paraguay defender before Gomez stuck out a leg to bring him down, allowing Mbappe to seal France's place among the final eight.

The Moroccans, having failed to impress in a bad-tempered first half, took the lead five minutes after the interval through Azzedine Ounahi. Ounahi swept home Achraf Hakimi's cut-back free kick from inside the D as the Canadian defence failed to close him down. The Girona midfielder scored his second by converting a breakaway with eight minutes remaining to seal victory. And an ultimately comfortable win was topped off in stoppage time as Soufiane Rahimi slid his shot under keeper Maxime Crepeau. It was tough on Canada, who had started by far the stronger team in Texas and should have led early on. "There was one team on the pitch," Canada boss Jesse Marsch said of his side's start to the game. "We were better than the number seven team in the world today." But Morocco progress, as they move one win away from equalling their historic run to the semi-finals at the 2022 World Cup. Canada pressed the Moroccans relentlessly from the start, and both Jonathan David and Tani Oluwaseyi were denied one on one by Morocco keeper Bono inside the opening 11 minutes. The African side were below par and clearly frustrated for long periods as seven yellow cards were shown by English referee Michael Oliver. But Morocco ultimately came through and were close to a third when Rahimi looped a header off the crossbar - before the striker finally got his goal with the last touch of the match. It means Canada's most successful men's World Cup campaign comes to an end - a tournament in which they earned their first point, win, group stage progression and knock-out victory. "We want to thank you for making us dream," one Canadian journalist said to Marsch in the post-match news conference. "Before, we never believed we'd ever make it this far. So we just want to say thank you."

Playing in temperatures above 30C until well after 10pm, Nestor Lorenzo's men booked a date with Switzerland in Vancouver on Tuesday (21:00 BST), with the mouth-watering prospect of a quarter-final meeting with Argentina looming beyond that - and the only surprise is that they did not win by a wider margin. Ghana ended the night without a shot on target and registered just four in total across their four games - only Iraq had fewer at this World Cup. Indeed, Colombia had twice as many shots on target in the game as Ghana managed in the entire tournament. Thomas Partey came closest for the Black Stars as he fizzed a long-range shot inches past the post inside 60 seconds. In a chaotic opening 10 minutes, Colombia forward Jhon Cordoba was forced off with a groin strain, with Luis Suarez coming on, while Ghana lost right-back Marvin Senaya to a hamstring injury, with Alidu Seidu replacing him. It was Suarez who burst down the right and crossed for the unmarked Arias to guide home a far-post volley after 14 minutes, with Seidu failing to track the midfielder's run. Ghana eventually came out of their shell and Manchester City forward Antoine Semenyo saw a shot deflected over the bar - as his tournament ended without a single effort on target. At the other end, Luis Diaz dragged a low shot wide of the near post with only recalled keeper Lawrence Zigi to beat and Suarez powered a header off-target from Jefferson Lerma's cross. In added time, Zigi did well to claw Johan Mojica's downward header off the line from Daniel Munoz's cross to the far post. Colombia replaced James Rodriguez, on his 130th appearance, at half-time, with Richard Rios dragging a low shot wide within moments of coming on for the captain. Gustavo Puerta drew another flying save from Zigi and Diaz saw a goal ruled out for offside shortly after, sliding home Lerma's cross after Partey had been caught in possession. Diaz was then foiled by Zigi's block when clean through after Puerta's unselfish pass on the break. Partey almost punished Colombia's profligacy as he dragged a low strike wide on 69 minutes. But Colombia continued to create chances. Juan Ferrero Quintero blasted just past the post from distance and Diaz saw a curler deflected off-target, while Davinson Sanchez's downward header from a corner was stopped by Zigi. Ghana tried to find a late leveller to force extra time but became the seventh of nine African sides in the last 32 to be eliminated at this stage, with only Morocco and Egypt continuing their journey.
