Co-hosts Mexico kicked off the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a convincing 2-0 victory over South Africa at the Azteca Stadium. Julián Quiñones opened the scoring in the ninth minute before Raúl Jiménez added a second after the break.
South Africa finished the match with nine men following red cards to Yaya Sithole and Themba Zwane, while Mexico also had César Montes sent off late on. The result extends Mexico’s unbeaten run in World Cup opening matches and gives El Tri an early boost in Group A.
