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 were also killed after crowds descended on Mexico City following the country’s 2-0 victory over Ecuador, the capital’s health authority said on Wednesday.

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

Clara Brugada Molina, head of the city’s government, expressed her “most sincere condolences” to the victims’ families and pledged support in the coming days.

“After performing first aid and CPR techniques on the patients, they were transferred to a hospital for specialised medical care,” the city’s health authority said.

All three have been confirmed to have died from suffocation and identified by their families, they added.
