Mexican World Cup fans celebrating their team's winning goal against Germany may have caused a small earthquake.
Seismic monitoring agency Simmsa said it was caused “possibly by massive jumps during the goal … of Mexico in the World Cup.”
At least two sensors detected the earthquake inside Mexico City at 11.32 a.m. local time.
In Mexico just about everyone jumped at once when their national team scored a goal that would ultimately see them upset Germany in their first group-stage match at the World Cup.
Here’s the other big result from Hirving Lozano’s strike:

A small earthquake, but an earthquake nonetheless.
Seismic monitoring agency Simmsa said it was caused “possibly by massive jumps during the goal … of Mexico in the World Cup”.
It noted at least two sensors detected the earthquake inside Mexico City at 11.32am local time.
A lot of the jumping was done in Mexico City’s Zocalo Square:

The loss was a huge blow for the Cup favourites, who fudged several attempts on goal and now face possible must-wins against Sweden and South Korea to make it through to the next round.
