Mexican soccer fans marked their team's advancement in the World Cup with an unusual celebration: an impromptu boxing match in the streets outside Mexico City Stadium. This victory, their first in the knockout stage since 1986, came after defeating Ecuador in a Round of 32 match.
The passionate display saw two women don boxing mitts and engage in a playful, albeit unpolished, fight. The event highlighted the fervent enthusiasm of Mexican supporters during the tournament.
Mexico is now set to face England in the Round of 16, with their next match scheduled for July 5 at Mexico City Stadium. England advanced after defeating DR Congo.
While the focus remains on the upcoming match, the fan celebrations underscore the deep connection between Mexican fans and their national team's performance on the global stage.
