SUMMARY
The quarter-final bracket for the 2026 World Cup is starting to take shape. After the recent round of 16 matches, three matchups are now known. Mexico secured its spot by defeating Ecuador (2-0). Led by goals from Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez, the co-hosts of the tournament showed a strong performance to continue their path in the competition. The Mexicans are now waiting to find out who their next opponent will be, which will be determined after the last remaining round of 16 matches.
On their side, the French team easily overcame Sweden (3-0) thanks in part to a double from Kylian Mbappé. The Blues will face Paraguay in the next round in a match scheduled for Saturday.
