The excitement from Mexico’s 2-0 victory over Ecuador in the World Cup didn’t fade quickly. On Tuesday morning around 11:00 a.m., Mexico City police arrived at Paseo de la Reforma to gently disperse fans who were still celebrating hours after the match ended.

Videos shared on social media captured dozens of supporters lingering on one of the capital’s busiest avenues, keeping the festive spirit alive well into the morning. To restore traffic flow and public order, authorities organized a peaceful operation asking fans to leave the area in an orderly fashion.

This celebration was part of a nationwide wave of joy that swept through cities across Mexico during the night and early morning. In Guadalajara, the festivities took a rough turn when a young woman was injured after falling to the pavement during the traditional “quiere volar” game, where participants are tossed into the air.

So far, no arrests have been reported in connection with the clearing of Reforma, and the police successfully reopened the avenue to traffic. This moment highlights how deeply football unites communities, even when the party lasts well beyond the final whistle.
