Mexico fans took over entire streets in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, celebrating their team's 2-0 victory over Ecuador in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Hundreds of people in green Mexico jerseys lit fireworks and performed donuts in their cars, prompting police to intervene.
Despite officers arriving to shut down the party, fireworks continued to ignite, with some even flying toward law enforcement.
In Mexico City, an even larger celebration unfolded at the Centro Histórico, where hundreds of thousands of fans gathered under green and red fireworks, waving flags and holding a massive fiesta.
The scenes in Mexico City made the L. A.
party look small, with waves of fans creating a sea of green as far as the eye could see.
Tuesday's win marked a significant moment for Mexico, as it was the team's first knockout victory in the World Cup since they last hosted the tournament in 1986.
Mexico now awaits its Round of 16 opponent, either England or DR Congo, and another win would spark an even bigger celebration.
