Mexico celebrated its goal so hard it created its own earthquake.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Mexico’s 1-0 win over Germany on Sunday during the 2018 FIFA World Cup turned out to be a literal world-shaking victory.

Per CBS Sport, around the same time that Mexico’s forward Hirving Lozano put the team in the board during the first half of Sunday’s game, a “seismic monitoring network” (SIMMSA) operated by the area’s Institute of Geological and Atmospheric Research, reported two sensors inside Mexico City detected an earthquake.

It could have just been a ‘coincidence,’ but the ground was reported to have started shaking moments after Lozano scored a goal.

SIMMSA reported on Twitter that the earthquake was ‘artificially’ created by ‘massive jumps.’

Fans celebrated the goal before the second half and before the victory was secured.

Imagine how hard it must be to create an artificial earthquake.

Talk about world-shaking.
