Mexican Fans Go Wild After World Cup Win in LA and Mexico City

Mexican soccer fans erupted in massive celebrations after their team's 2-0 victory over Ecuador in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32. Thousands of supporters in green jerseys took over the streets of Los Angeles and Mexico City, turning them into a full-scale fiesta.

In Los Angeles, the party started Tuesday night with fans lighting fireworks, doing donuts in their cars, and chanting. Police eventually arrived to break up the crowd, but it wasn't easy—some fireworks even flew toward officers.

But the real madness unfolded in Mexico City's Centro Histórico, where hundreds of thousands of people gathered under green and red firework explosions, waving Mexican flags. The scene in the capital made LA look tame, with a sea of green fans stretching as far as the eye could see.

This victory is a historic moment for Mexico's faithful. The team hadn't won a knockout game in the World Cup since 1986, when they last hosted the tournament. Although the format now includes an extra knockout round, it's still a significant achievement for El Tricolor.

Mexico now awaits its Round of 16 opponent—either England or DR Congo. Another win would call for an even bigger celebration. Fans are already stocking up on Corona and planning more parties.

For those wanting to follow the action, all 104 matches of the World Cup are streaming live on FOX One from June 11 to July 19.
