Many of these workers continued their duties into the early morning hours, ensuring the safety of those still celebrating. "Yesterday the city won in the street; peace won over violence; encounter won over isolation, and community won over individualism; joy won over loneliness," the mayor proclaimed, expressing gratitude for the public servants' generosity and commitment. She concluded by celebrating the team's predicted 3-0 victory, which came to fruition, further adding to the day's triumph.

Ayer ganó la ciudad en la calle; le ganó la paz a la violencia; le ganó el encuentro al aislamiento y ganó la comunidad al individualismo; le ganó la alegría a la soledad.
