Telemundo drew an average audience of 6.56 million viewers for Sunday’s Mexico-Germany World Cup match, making it the most-watched sporting event in the Spanish-language network’s history.

Across all platforms, including digital, Telemundo’s coverage had an average audience of 7.4 million, and it peaked at 8 million.
