Crowds Celebrate Mexico's Soccer Win in Chihuahua, Turn Rowdy

Following Mexico's 2-0 victory over South Africa, thousands gathered at the Pancho Villa roundabout in Chihuahua to celebrate. Families, friends and fans waved flags, sang, and drank beer and tequila as the festivities grew in intensity. As the night progressed, several incidents occurred, including a minor injury when a passenger fell from a pickup truck and confrontations among groups of revelers.

By the next morning, the site was littered with empty cans, bottles, plastic bags and decorative streamers, prompting municipal maintenance crews to begin a cleanup of the area.
