On July 3, 2026, Raul Jimenez showcased his talent once again, scoring his second goal of the World Cup to propel Mexico into the last 16 of the tournament. The Mexican striker's performance was pivotal in a decisive 2-0 win over Ecuador, held at the historic Azteca Stadium, where Mexico continued its impressive record.

In the round of 32 clash, Jimenez initially had a chance to score early in the match but missed the target. However, his teammate Julian Quinones opened the scoring for Mexico in the 22nd minute. Shortly after, Jimenez found his moment, receiving a pass from Quinones just outside the box. With a stunning shot using the outside of his boot, he sent the ball soaring into the top corner of the net, marking his second goal of the tournament.

Mexico's defense remained solid throughout the match, ensuring they did not concede a goal, which allowed them to comfortably secure their place in the knockout stage. The victory not only highlighted Jimenez's skills but also set up an exciting matchup against England in the next round.

In other matches involving Wolves players, David Moller Wolfe helped Norway make history by becoming the first Norwegian team to win a World Cup knockout match, defeating Ivory Coast 2-1. Meanwhile, Sasa Kalajdzic's Austria was eliminated after a 3-0 loss to Spain, and Jose Sa remained an unused substitute as Portugal edged past Croatia 2-1.

As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on Jimenez and Mexico as they prepare to face England in what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The match is scheduled to take place at 1 AM on Monday morning in Mexico City, following Wolfe's game against Brazil earlier that evening.
