After Mexico's 2-0 victory over Ecuador on July 1, 2026, fans at Estadio Azteca celebrated so energetically that their actions triggered seismic monitoring equipment. The celebration was particularly intense following the opening goal scored by Julian Quiñones in the 22nd minute, which registered as an 'artificial seismic signal' according to reports. This phenomenon is not new; a similar event occurred during the 2018 World Cup when fans celebrated a goal against Germany. The second goal by Raul Jimenez in the 31st minute secured Mexico's advancement to the Round of 16.
