After a first period without a single goal, the German striker opened the scoring in the 55th, on a pass from the English right side near the penalty spot. However, Reece James was at fault five minutes later on the Mexican equalizer, guilty of an uncertain back pass to his goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli, who spun directly into his own net. Finally, Mason Mount put the Londoners in front of the score thanks to a nice shot at the entrance to the surface (83rd).
