Haaland dumps Brazil, England edge Mexico as Balogun row and Argentina fury erupt | OneFootball

Erling Haaland sent Brazil home and England edged Mexico on a wild night, while Argentina fumed at a referee pick and Folarin Balogun's case drew scrutiny.

Le Progres highlights anger in Argentina over the referee chosen for their match against Egypt, and notes debate around Balogun's suspension.

Five-time world champions Brazil lost 2-1 to Norway in the last 16. After a first-half penalty miss, they collapsed late as Haaland struck twice, a header over Gabriel on 79 minutes then a left-foot finish on 90. Neymar, introduced on 67 minutes, pulled one back from the spot on 99.

England beat Mexico 3-2 after a breathless first half where Jude Bellingham scored on 36 and 38 minutes, before Quinones replied on 42. The Three Lions went down to ten when Jarell Quansah saw red for a high tackle, but Harry Kane converted a penalty on 60 for 3-1. Kane then conceded a penalty that Raul Jimenez buried on 69, yet England held on to reach the quarter-finals.

Expelled for a studs-up challenge against Bosnia in the last 32, Balogun is now clear to face Belgium in the last 16. Contacted by the White House, FIFA decided to lift the United States striker's suspension.
