The Mexico national team is at the top of the group in the 2026 World Cup, with 6 points and a goal difference of +3.

What happened in the match?

Mexico's victory over the Czech Republic left images of celebration inside and outside the stadium. However, the celebration was also marked by an incident in the stands of the Ciudad de México Stadium.

A relative of a Mexico national team player was injured after being hit by a beer thrown by a fan. The situation was publicly denounced by Daniela Basso, the wife of Raúl Jiménez, through her social media accounts.

What did Daniela Basso report?

According to Daniela Basso's post, the incident occurred during the celebrations for one of the goals scored by the Mexico national team against the Czech Republic. She reported that a fan threw a full beer glass from a high area of the stadium, which directly hit the head of a relative of one of the players called up by Javier Aguirre, causing an injury.

Was the injured relative a family member of Raúl Jiménez?

Hours after the initial report, Daniela Basso published an update to clarify that the injured person is not a family member of Raúl Jiménez. The actress explained that the affected person is a relative of another member of the Mexico national team, although she decided not to reveal their identity.

The Mexico national team is in a good position in the 2026 World Cup, with a streak of 2 consecutive victories. However, the incident in the stands is a reminder that violence has no place in football.
