Mexican fans have already impressively proven in recent days that they really know how to celebrate. After the 2-0 win over Ecuador, the jubilation was enormous, as these images from Mexico City show. 

Now, Mexico’s Digital Platform for Early Warning and Comprehensive Risk Management (SASSLA) has found that there were "vibrations in the region" on Tuesday, caused by fans jumping.

"Julián Quiñones’ goal against Ecuador was just recorded on several seismographs," SASSLA wrote on X. "We also have the recording of Raúl Jiménez’s second goal in the 31st minute," it added.

According to The Independent, such "human-made earthquakes" have also been reported in the past. A similar earthquake was also detected in Norway after Erling Haaland’s goal against Iraq.
