At the 21st minute mark, Ballard managed to score after the goalie fumbled the first shot, allowing for a rebound opportunity which he capitalized on.
Following the restart, Ballard assisted by passing the ball back to Donley who successfully scored, allowing England to gain possession of the ball once again. Ballard, previously a striker, took on the role of provider in this instance.

During the game between Mexico and England, there was a moment when England was playing with only ten players because one of their teammates was injured. However, just three minutes before the end of the first half, Mexico scored a goal when Angel Chavez used his head to put the ball in the net from a corner kick.
However, England had an opportunity to score their own goal from a set-piece during the last minute of the first half. A corner kick that curved towards the goal was deftly redirected, and Donley was in position at the far post to easily put the ball into the net.
At the beginning of the second half, the score was 6-1 when Joshua Duffus, who had come on as a substitute, seized a poorly placed pass intended for the goalkeeper. Duffus assisted Mainoo in passing the ball, and Mainoo then gave it to Stutter, who easily put it into the unguarded net.
