Kansas City’s Guadalupe Centers hosted a night of celebration, gathering the community Thursday to watch Mexico defeat South Korea in a World Cup match. <\/p>\n

Dozens of people from across Kansas City’s Hispanic community showed up for the family-friendly watch party.<\/p>\n

Many were already in good spirits after Mexico’s victory in its World Cup opening match last week. <\/p>\n

“I think everyone’s excited,” Leo Prieto of the Guadalupe Centers said. “We got a lot of great teams that are in the mix again, but Mexico has a soft heart for the community.”<\/p>\n

Several local vendors served food and treats Thursday ahead of the game. <\/p>\n

Many families were competing in their own soccer games ahead of the match as they made memories with each other. <\/p>\n

“That’s what we’re proud of, and that’s why we’re here, from the little kiddos to our grandparents, our abuelos, abuelas, everyone’s out here celebrating in their Mexico gear,” Prieto said. <\/p>\n

Mexico defeated South Korea 1-0, sending thousands of fans across the Kansas City metro into a night-long celebration. <\/p>\n

“We’re celebrating here, we’re celebrating each other, we’re celebrating the sport,” Prieto said. “It’s just so great to see familias and the community come together for a game like this.”
