Mexican quake rocks Germany's foundations

Germany 0 Mexico 1: Back in Mexico City their exploits caused what was defined as an ‘artificial earthquake’. Here in Moscow the very real aftershocks will be felt for days and potentially weeks to come.

Magnificent, truly magnificent, Mexico caused the first upset of Russia’s World Cup with a scintillating but then stoic display for the ages at the Luzhniki Stadium, downed world champions Germany trudging off with mariachi music blaring in their ears.

Chucky Lozano’s cracking first-half goal was never added to, in spite of Mexico having countless chances to do so, Chicharito Hernandez butchering enough for a buffet. No matter.
