World champions Germany lost their opening game at Russia 2018, with Hirving Lozano's winner causing a small earthquake in Mexico.
Hirving Lozano caused a small artificial earthquake when he scored a historic winning goal for Mexico against Germany in their first World Cup match at Russia 2018.
According to the Instituto de Investigaciones Geologicas and Atmosfericas' seismic monitoring network, a spike in activity was recorded after Lozano struck against the world champions.
