Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez scored goals in a nine-minute span in the first half and Mexico defeated Ecuador 2-0 on Tuesday night to break a 40-year drought without a win in the knockout stage and progressed to the World Cup round of 16.
Mexico beat Ecuador to reach the round of 16 with goals from Julian Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez. After the dramatic finishes in the opening Round of 32 matches at the 2026 World Cup, another tense contest was in store as Mexico faced Ecuador for a place in the last 16. However, Mexico were the superior team and won 2-0 with goals from Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez. In the first half, Mexico were clearly the better side, controlling possession and dictating the rhythm of the game while creating the better chances. They took a deserved 2-0 lead at halftime through goals from Quiñones and Jiménez that put the match in their control. There was not much action in the second half as Mexico stepped back to defend their lead, while Ecuador could not create clear chances despite having more possession. Crosses came from many areas but did not reach the forwards, allowing Mexico to secure the victory.
With a 2-0 win against Ecuador, Mexico has kept alive its unbeaten record at Estadio Azteca in the World Cup. Mexico has pulled off another statement victory in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, securing a clinical 2-0 win over Ecuador to punch their ticket to the Round of 16, where they await their next opponent. Beyond the massive tournament implications, El Tri continues to maximize its home-field advantage, extending an absolutely flawless historical record at the legendary Estadio Azteca. Julian Quiñones opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, exploiting space behind the Ecuadorian backline and blasting the ball into the top corner, before Raul Jimenez, linking up beautifully with Quiñones, mirrored the feat by slotting home another top-corner strike just nine minutes later. The comfortable 2-0 victory adds Ecuador to the long list of visiting national teams that have failed to solve the riddle of the iconic venue. The triumph marks the 10th consecutive World Cup match in which Mexico has remained unbeaten on the hallowed grass of the Estadio Azteca. Serving as the primary fortress for El Tri across the 1970, 1986, and now 2026 tournaments, the host nation has racked up eight victories at the stadium while grinding out just two draws. The complete history of Mexico’s World Cup matches and results at the Estadio Azteca stands as follows: 1970 World Cup: Mexico 0-0 Soviet Union (Group stage)1970 World Cup: Mexico 4-0 El Salvador (Group stage)1970 World Cup: Mexico 1-0 Belgium (Group stage)1986 World Cup: Mexico 2-1 Belgium (Group stage)1986 World Cup: Mexico 1-1 Paraguay (Group stage)1986 World Cup: Mexico 1-0 Iraq (Group stage)1986 World Cup: Mexico 2-0 Bulgaria (Round of 16)2026 World Cup: Mexico 2-0 South Africa (Group stage)2026 World Cup: Mexico 3-0 Czechia (Group stage)2026 World Cup: Mexico 2-0 Ecuador (Round of 32) Players of Mexico line up prior to the Ecuador game. England or DR Congo up next After the heartbreak of Qatar 2022 (where they infamously failed to advance past the group stage), Mexico has rediscovered its elite form under head coach Javier Aguirre, and with the Azteca serving as their fortress, they look prepared for anyone. El Tri‘s opponent for the upcoming round will be decided by the high-stakes clash between England and the DR Congo, who square off on Wednesday, July 1st. Historically, the times Mexico bowed out as tournament hosts, the heartbreaks occurred away from the Azteca, suffering a heavy 4-1 quarterfinal defeat to Italy in 1970 at the Estadio Luis Dosal in Toluca, and a painful 1986 quarterfinal penalty shootout loss to West Germany at the Estadio Universitario in Monterrey. Having seemingly learned from past structural mistakes, El Tri will have the Estadio Azteca, officially designated as Mexico City Stadium for this tournament, as their home ground for at least one more knockout match. A record-breaking Mexican squad The decisive victory over Ecuador was far more than just another standard advancement in the knockout bracket, it was a flashing warning sign to the rest of the world regarding what this 2026 Mexican squad can achieve. By preserving the 2-0 shutout, they stand alone as the only defensive unit in the entire tournament that has yet to concede a single goal. Furthermore, when factoring in their 2-1 consolation victory over Saudi Arabia in their final group match four years ago, Mexico is currently riding a historic five-game World Cup winning streak, a blistering run of form that sets a brand-new gold standard for the national program.
Mexico ended a 40-year wait for a World Cup knockout-stage victory on Tuesday, beating Ecuador 2-0 to reach the last 16. Goals from Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez secured El Tri's first win beyond the group stage since the 1986 tournament they hosted.
