At a crossroads in the district, hundreds of supporters gathered to kick a ball in the air and celebrate wildly with passing cars, sometimes jumping on them. However, an hour into the celebrations, the atmosphere soured as riot police arrived on the scene, using water cannon and baton charges to clear the crowd.

AFP reporters witnessed about a dozen arrests, with police handcuffing several young men after striking them in the legs with batons before driving them away in police vans. Dutch police on bicycles engaged in a cat and mouse game with young people through the streets, but no significant damage was done.

People refused to talk to the media despite repeated requests because they wanted to remain anonymous. Many others on the streets covered their faces with balaclavas or other masks.

After extra time, the dramatic 1-1 tie in the Monterrey round of 32 resulted in an exciting penalty shootout.

Moroccan striker Ismael Saibari, who plays for PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands, scored the game-winning penalty after multiple misses by both teams, setting up a matchup with co-hosts Canada in the round of sixteen.
