A Mexican soccer fan attempting to sneak into a World Cup fan park became trapped on a 4-meter-high chain-link fence and was rescued by a crane, causing a commotion.
Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 3rd (Korean time) that "a Mexican woman became isolated while climbing over the fence of a fan park located in Monterrey, Mexico, and received assistance from emergency rescue teams."
According to the media outlet, at the time of the incident, the woman had intended to attend a group screening event for the match between Mexico and Ecuador in the group stage. However, when Funidora Park closed all entrances due to exceeding capacity, she decided to climb over the fence. Dressed in a Mexico national team jersey, she climbed more than halfway up the approximately 4-meter-high chain-link fence but soon found herself stuck—unable to cross the fence or climb back down.
Eventually, as acquaintances stomped their feet on the ground below, emergency rescue teams were dispatched. Barefoot and clinging to the top of the fence, she was only able to safely set foot on the ground after a large crane arrived. Rescued only after sunset, she had her health checked before leaving the scene.
Meanwhile, Mexico secured a decisive 2-0 victory over Ecuador in the Round of 32 match of the 2026 FIFA North American World Cup held at Estadio Ciudad de México in Mexico City on the 1st (Korean time). Having previously recorded three consecutive wins—including a 1-0 defeat of South Korea's national team in Group A and finishing first in the group—Mexico continued its strong momentum into the knockout stage.
The media reported that "thousands of Mexican fans filled the streets to celebrate the victory, enjoying festivities throughout the night."
Mexico is scheduled to face England, managed by Thomas Tuchel, in the Round of 16 match at Estadio Ciudad de México on the 6th at 9 a.m.
