Although Iceland came close, it was Mexico who actually pulled off the first real upset of this world cup, defeating the defending Champions, Germany. It was Hirving Lozano who scored in the 35th minute which proved to be the real difference between two sides and just as soon as he forward slotted the ball past Manuel Neuer, the Mexican fans erupted in the stadium. But then can you imagine what the celebrations would have been like back home in Mexico ? Well, get this. The reaction was so powerful that it caused an artificial earthquake in Mexico !
