Mexico began their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign with a 2-0 victory over South Africa in a dramatic opening match in Mexico City, with goals from Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez securing the win for the co-hosts. Quiñones opened the scoring with a spectacular strike past South Africa goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, giving Mexico early control of the match and sending the home crowd into celebration. South Africa created chances of their own, with Williams producing a brilliant acrobatic save to deny Raúl Jiménez, while both sides showed intensity in a fast-paced first half. The match turned in Mexico’s favor in the second half after South Africa were reduced to ten men following a red card shown to Sphephelo Sithole for a foul on Brian Gutiérrez. Despite the setback, Mexico continued to press forward, with Jiménez coming close from a free kick before eventually doubling the lead with a powerful header to seal the victory. South Africa’s discipline worsened late in the game as Themba Zwane was also sent off following a VAR review, leaving the visitors with nine men. Mexico also finished with ten players after César Montes received a red card following a foul on Khuliso Mudau. After a tense and eventful encounter filled with goals, cards, and VAR decisions, Mexico celebrated a strong start to their World Cup campaign on home soil as players Gilberto Mora and Orbelín Pineda applauded fans at full time. #Mexico #WorldCup2026 #FIFAWorldCup #MexicoVsSouthAfrica #ElTri #JulianQuinones #RaulJimenez #MexicoWin #WorldCupOpener #Football #Soccer #WorldCupGoals #SportsNews #MexicoCity HIGHLIGHTS: Mexico Beat South Africa 2–0 in World Cup Opener | AC1S Mexico vs South Africa, World Cup 2026, FIFA World Cup 2026, Mexico 2-0 South Africa, Julian Quinones goal, Raul Jimenez goal, El Tri, Mexican national team, South Africa national team, Ronwen Williams, Estadio Azteca, Mexico City match, World Cup opener, football highlights, soccer highlights, VAR decisions, red cards, match report, sports news, Reuters sports, World Cup group stage, international football, Mexico victory, football goals, soccer goals, tournament opener, World Cup drama, disciplinary action, fan celebration, Mexico squad, South Africa red cards, FIFA tournament, global football event Talk Shows Central YouTube Channel is managed by Dot Republic Media, All Copyrights Reserved.
