MEXICANS cheering their nation’s match-winning goal over Germany in their World Cup opener might have registered on seismic monitoring devices but it was likely this commentator’s exuberant celebration which tipped things over the edge.

MEXICANS cheering their nation’s match-winning goal over Germany might have registered on seismic monitoring devices but it was likely this commentator’s exuberant celebration which tipped things over the edge.

Andres Cantor was calling Mexico’s opening match against the defending World Cup champions when against all odds Hirving Lozano fired a goal past German keeper Manuel Neuer in the 35th minute.

You know a World Cup goal is special when you get an emotional response from the commentary team. You know it is something else when the commentator screaming GOOOOOAAAALLLL has to take a breath mid-scream before continuing on.

Listen to Telemundo’s coverage and Cantor’s call of the goal below.

Dead set hearing Andres Cantor call Mexico’s glorious goal is one of the best things in the history of sports commentary. This guy has kindly cut up the audio. Viva México Cabrones https://t.co/AIbS9sLrF4
