In a tweet, the Mexican research center (SIMMSA) said at least two sensors inside Mexico City detected an earthquake, possibly triggered by hordes of fans jumping when Mexico’s Hirving Lozano scored the match’s only goal. The Mexican team upset the reigning German national team, which arrived in Russia armed with technology hoping to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to defend the title.
