Mexico's winning goal over Germany in the 35th minute of their World Cup game Sunday, had everyone jumping for joy...literally!

The seismic monitoring network in Mexico wrote in a Twitter post,“The #sismo detected in Mexico City originated artificially. Possibly by massive jumps during the Goal of the selection of # Mexico in the world. At least two sensors inside the City detected it at 11:32.”

A similar event happened in Seattle in 2011 when Marshawn Lynch caused a small earthquake at CenturyLink Field while scoring a touchdown.

Two different sensors in the city itself proves just how big this moment was for Mexico.
