Mexico vs South Africa 2-0 Highlights | All Goals & Extended Highlights | FIFA World Cup 2026

Mexico began their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign with a convincing 2–0 victory over South Africa in the Group A opener at Estadio Azteca on June 11. Julian Quiñones put the co-hosts ahead early in the match after South Africa’s Sphephelo Sithole made a costly defensive error, allowing Erik Lira to regain possession and set up the forward for a powerful finish. South Africa’s challenge became even more difficult shortly after halftime when Sithole was sent off for a foul on Brian Gutierrez. Although Mexico failed to capitalize immediately from the resulting free kick, Raúl Jiménez extended the lead in the 67th minute with a well-placed header at the far post. South Africa’s frustrations deepened when Themba Zwane received a red card for violent conduct, leaving his team with nine players. Mexico’s César Montes was also sent off in stoppage time. The victory sparked celebrations across Mexico City, while protests and social tensions outside the festivities highlighted broader national concerns during the tournament’s opening day. #Mexico #MexicoFans #FIFA2026 #WorldCup2026 #MexicoGoal #GoalCelebration #FootballFans #SoccerFans #WorldCup #FIFAWorldCup #MexicoVsSouthAfrica #FanReaction #ViralVideo #Football #Soccer #MexicoCity #GaribaldiSquare #SportsNews #FootballHighlights #WorldCupFever Moneycontrol is India’s leading financial portal, offering market news, expert analysis, and powerful tools.
