Leon Bailey delivered a stunning first-half hat-trick to give Jamaica a memorable 3-0 victory over Mexico at the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Dallas. The Aston Villa winger struck three times before the break, leaving the hosts shell-shocked at AT&T Stadium.

Mexico saw two goals ruled out by VAR decisions during the match and were reduced to ten men late on after a red card. The defeat leaves El Tri in a precarious position, needing a strong result in their final group fixture to advance.

The result marks one of the biggest upsets of the tournament so far, as Jamaica capitalized on clinical finishing and defensive resilience to claim all three points against their regional rivals.
