Ecuador defender Piero Hincapie becomes the second player at this tournament to be shown a red card for covering his mouth while speaking to an opponent in stoppage time of their 2-0 defeat against Mexico.

The Argentine coach left his position after the elimination against Mexico and acknowledged that he did not achieve the results he had promised.

The 40-year wait is over. Mexicans had learned to live with defeats in the knockout stages of the World Cup. On seven occasions, El Tri fans were left heartbroken at this stage. Not anymore. Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez scored within a nine-minute span in the first half and Mexico defeated Ecuador 2-0 on Tuesday night to break a four-decade drought in the knockout stage and progress to the round of 16.

England must first beat DR Congo, but Mexico's win over Ecuador has made a potential last-16 tie at the Azteca even more intimidating.

Kylian Mbappé scored twice, and Bradley Barcola added a third as France beat Sweden 3–0, reaching the World Cup last 16 with Mexico, as El Tri defeated Ecuador 2-0. Belgium takes on Senegal on Wednesday night in a high-stakes knockout clash in Seattle.
