More than one million people took to the streets, mainly around the Angel of Independence monument in downtown, to mark the country’s first World Cup knockout win since 1986.

Health authorities said emergency services treated three unconscious people at different locations around Paseo de la Reforma before transporting them to hospital.

A 19-year-old woman is among three people to have died from suffocation during World Cup celebrations in Mexico City on Tuesday.

A 48-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man also died after crowds descended on the city following the country’s 2-0 victory over Ecuador, the capital’s health authority said on Wednesday.

City Mayor Clara Brugada expressed her “most sincere condolences” to the victims’ families and pledged support in the coming days.
