At the request of coach Thomas Tuchel, England set up a special security scheme to keep the location of their accommodation secret before the clash against the Mexican team, one of the hosts of the tournament in this edition.
However, the address was leaked and not even the strong protection set up by the local police prevented dozens of fans from moving to the front of the hotel.
The British newspaper The Sun reported that heavily armed police isolated all access to the hotel's doors. Therefore, the fans made noise and celebrated on a bridge close to where the English team gathered. Still according to the newspaper, despite the noise.
Videos of the Mexican party were shared on social media. Before England, Ecuador had already gone through a similar situation before the second round game of the World Cup.
