There are loud crowds, and then there are Mexican soccer crowds. After a significant 2-0 victory over Ecuador, Mexican fans celebrated so intensely that their actions reportedly triggered seismic activity. The event took place during a Round of 32 knockout match at the iconic Estadio Azteca.
According to reports from the New York Post, a key moment of the game occurred when forward Julian Quiñones scored the opening goal in the 22nd minute. The resulting eruption of joy from the fans was so powerful that it registered an “artificial seismic signal.” This was not the first time such an event occurred. It echoed a similar incident in 2018 when Hirving Lozano’s goal against Germany led to seismic monitoring activity.
The jubilant reaction from the crowd is a testament to the vibrant and passionate fan base of Mexico. Their celebrations may shake the ground, but pose no threat to the structural stability of the stadium.
The match continued with Raul Jimenez scoring a second goal in the 31st minute, sealing a triumphant 2-0 win for Mexico. This victory secured their place in the Round of 16, keeping their World Cup hopes alive for at least one more stage.
Such passionate displays from the fans highlight why Mexican soccer atmospheres are considered among the most exhilarating worldwide.
