 "FIFA World Cup 2018: Mexico's historic 1-0 win over defending champions Germany sets Twitter alight")
Mexico created the first upset of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, overcoming defending champions Germany 1-0 in a frenetic Group F game at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on Sunday. Forward Hirving Lozano’s 35th-minute goal proved to make the difference in a match played at a very high tempo as four-time champions Germany began their title defence on a disastrous note.

AFP[/caption] The game opened at a breathtaking pace, with both Germany and Mexico playing an open game, going on an all-out attack. German striker Timo Werner had the first chance of the match but his drive from a tight angle from the right went wide of the left post. Ranked 14 places below than the World No 1 Germany, Mexico took the European powerhouse head on, playing a quick counter-attacking game. Needless to say, the match did send out ripples across the world, with fans in Mexico City causing a spike in the earthquake sensors while celebrating Lozano’s goal. Twitter was abuzz with reactions to Germany’s first defeat in an opening game in the World Cup since 1982. Here’s a look at some of the best tweets about the game: Perhaps the best illustration of what really transpired at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium on Sunday, especially for dog-lovers.
