An earthquake was recorded in Mexico City following a 1-0 World Cup triumph of the Mexican Football Team over Germany on Sunday in Russia.
Debutant Hirving "Chucky" Lozano scored a goal in 35th minute to beat Germany and notch their first win in the competition. The goal was so historic that it resulted in seismic activities within Mexico City.
According to the Institute of Geologic and Atmospheric Investigations in Mexico City, two of their sensors were able to detect the seismic phenomenon. It added that the earthquake was due to the colossal celebration of the Mexicans after Lozano's earthshattering goal.
"Possibly because of mass jumping," the IGAI said.
Besides the IGAI, the United States also recorded the earthquake in Mexico City but it has yet to determine whether it was caused by Lozano's Goal. Nonetheless, the Mexicans are now in a good position of advancing to the next round. The Mexicans will go up against South Korea this Saturday before closing out the group stages against Sweden on June 27.
The Mexicans have appeared in 16 World Cups with their finish coming in the 1970 and 1986 editions wherein they finished in the quarterfinals. Mexico wound up in the Round of 16 in the last World Cup.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old Lozano has now garnered interest from top clubs in the Premier League following his historic World Cup goal against Germany. Among the clubs that are interested in the Mexican star include Arsenal and Liverpool.
Lozano currently plays for PSV in the Dutch league. He is described as a great winger that is skilled in controlling the ball and has the capability to score on a consistent basis.
On the other hand, Germany hopes to get its act together when they return to the court this Saturday against Sweden. The Germans will battle South Korea thereafter on June 27.
Not The First Time In Sports
Interestingly, this phenomenon has already happened in other sports such as the National Football League. It can be recalled that Seattle Seahawk Marshawn Lynch scored an incredible 67-yard touchdown run in a 2011 wildcard game against the defending champions, New Orleans Saints.
The Seahawks went on to beat the Saints 41-36 in the NFC Wild Card Round. Lynch also eventually got the nickname of the Beast Quake following the odd event.
If the first time was not enough, the Earth shook again three years later when Lynch scored a 79-yard touchdown over the Arizona Cardinals in 2014. It was then dubbed as the Beast Quake 2.0.
