The foul/free-kick you’re asking about was caused by a Mexican player at the kickoff restart , not by England. The report says the Mexican player took a double touch and moved the ball illegally, so the referee awarded England a free kick.

What happened

  • England had just scored, and Mexico restarted play.
  • On the restart, the Mexican player made an unusual double touch.
  • That restart infringement led to the free kick for England.

Important detail

The source I found does not name the specific Mexican player in the snippet available, so I can’t reliably identify who it was from the information at hand.

Match context

There was also separate controversy in the same match involving a foul by Jarell Quansah on Mexico’s Jesús Gallardo, which led to a red card for England.
