People from across the world, including Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, took to Twitter to heap praises on the Mexican team.
Germany Vs Mexico : Germany's shocking defeat at the hands of Mexico in the FIFA World Cup 2018 has sparked concerns and worry among the German media.
Top-selling German daily Bild declared on its website: "Embarrassing performance against Mexico: this crash causes us World Cup worry".
Munich-based newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung agreed with "There are reasons to worry" over a picture of the dejected German team, who need to beat Sweden and South Korea to be sure of going through.
In Mexico, thousands of jubilant Mexico supporters partied in the streets of the capital by singing, dancing, blaring car horns and cheering El Tri.
In capital Mexico City, the streets were filled with exhilarated fans, on foot, bicycles, motorbikes or in cars. Some blasted their car stereos, while others shrieked in glee.
Amid the cacophonous bustle, a veteran violinist played the traditional tune "Cielito Lindo" -- roughly translated as "Lovely Sweet One." The victory was a heart-stopping one, but "a small goal is still a goal," said the musician, while fans left coins in his instrument case.
One female fan, a flag in her hand and the national colors painted on her cheeks, screamed: "We are an Aztec warrior force!"
"Lozano for president, Lozano for president!" fans cheered -- not forgetting that the country will hold elections to choose a new leader on July 1.
Ana Maria Contreras, a primary school teacher, came with her children and even dogs decked out in El Tri's signature green jerseys to join the festivities.
"We have shown that we can compete with any power. And I hope that whoever wins as president also knows how to lead us to victory," she said.
