The search for the world’s most passionate fans has come to an end.
During Sunday’s World Cup match between Mexico and defending champions Germany, a small artificial earthquake occurred in Mexico City after Hirving Lozano scored the only goal of the game in a counter-attack move.
According to SIMMSA – a seismic monitoring network in the area – the earthquake was likely caused by fans across the city jumping as the team scored, with to monitors picking up the disturbance.
