Mexican soccer fans were dispersed by police after a celebration turned disorderly.
The
majority of the hundreds of fans that poured into the streets of
Huntington Park, California after Mexico won its world Cup match Monday
were peaceful, but about a dozen began rocking cars and tossing bottles
at riot officers.
The
team beat Croatia 3-1 to advance from the group stage of the soccer
tournament to the knockout round for the sixth World Cup in a row.
