Mexico wrap up their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign | OneFootball

The participation of Chivas players in the 2026 FIFA World Cup came to an end this Sunday, after the Mexican National Team fell 3-2 to England in the Round of 16.

Coach Javier Aguirre once again trusted a Chivas core for one of the tournament’s most important matches. Raúl “Tala” Rangel defended Mexico’s goal for the fifth straight match, while Luis Romo brought experience in midfield. Meanwhile, Roberto “Piojo” Alvarado was once again one of the national team’s main figures and the Mexican player who completed the most passes during the match.

In the 61st minute, Brian Gutiérrez came on for Romo and gave El Tri fresh energy. The Chivas player created the move that led to the penalty converted by Raúl Jiménez, which brought Mexico closer on the scoreboard.

Despite the national team’s determination to equalize and the constant pressure on England’s goal, the effort was not enough to secure a place in the Quarterfinals.

That is how Mexico’s run in the 2026 FIFA World Cup came to an end, in a historic edition in which El Tri finished among the tournament’s 16 best teams and delivered an outstanding Group Stage with a perfect record.
