00:00I
00:34And now we're going to play three, South Africa and Mexico.
00:46Now, let's welcome to the today's teams, South Africa and Mexico.
01:00And now we're going to play three, South Africa and Mexico.
01:24Check.
01:26Alvarado.
01:28It's quite late there by Mediva.
01:31Six foot five of them.
01:38Alvarado.
01:45Check.
01:47Alvarado.
01:50I'm a diva six foot five of them
01:56Israel Reyes
02:04I see to do so on its way and wrong with this deals with that
02:1486
02:17Yeah, I was just thinking Katara say generally speaking the home nation does very well in the opening films
02:23South Africa giving the ball away dangerously
02:26very dangerously
02:33Julian Quinonez has the honor of scoring the first goal of the 2026 world cup
02:41And I swear you'll hear the noise all the way from the Azteca to Acapulco
02:56Can you pick up that that ball not a little bit of space in front of the three centre-bats
03:01But I'll mention again
03:03There goes Jimenez
03:06And it's touched behind for a corner
03:16We'd have to do a lot more than that to become top of it
03:21Yeah, why did it and say Danny
03:28The fabric went spinning
03:36And Apigalga the player again fouled
03:42There's the yellow card
03:51It's a whack
03:53It's not the worst whack from a player who must be brimful of confidence in Quinones
03:57They find she did, doesn't they?
03:59Opening fixtures at World Cups
04:02Yeah, not one to ten
04:03I think the centre forward has to stand up and be a wall
04:11And a midfield of Ragey
04:14Alvarado
04:17As long, of course, as we all know
04:18To our contact
04:19It's a little there's a moment on your partnership
04:21Of course that Shakira didn't attempt a spot pick today
04:27To his voice, he was so good and very well in him
04:30Mokwena
04:53Mokwena
04:53And I think the other one is Foster
04:57Mokwena
04:58Mokwena
04:59And he was sold a tad short by the Fars
05:05Munoz
05:06Munoz
05:07Munoz
05:07Munoz
05:08Munoz
05:08Munoz
05:09Munoz
05:09Munoz
05:10Munoz
05:12Munoz
05:15Munoz
05:16Munoz
05:32Munoz
05:35The man is denied by the face of the upright this time
05:40That's a fair whack
05:41Good effort wasn't it
05:43Yes
05:44Up against Alvarado
05:50Snowball kick
05:52The disappointment of South Africa
05:54Very aggressively
05:56Here we go
05:57Brian Gutierrez
06:01Oh he's just in two mains
06:02He's completely in two mains
06:05A little bit harsh on the goalkeeper
06:10For the goal as well
06:12Yeah
06:13Rather than their first fixture
06:15He's in
06:17And Settoli made a challenge
06:19And the referee has to interpret that
06:22First was it a foul
06:24Second where was it
06:25And third was it the denial of a goal scoring opportunity
06:29And it was
06:33It's Raul Jimenez
06:36Back to Gutierrez
06:38Now Gallardo
06:39And that's wild
06:41Now he's leaning back
06:42And Gallardo
06:45Go up a player
06:47Up a man
06:48A lot of cuts
06:50And there is Modiba
06:54Again the handling from
07:01That's a foul
07:03Gutierrez
07:04Reyes
07:07Quinonez
07:08Here we go
07:10And Gallardo
07:11Who was arriving
07:16Shoulder as well
07:17In the World Cup
07:18The 86 World Cup
07:19It's a really nice line
07:20Belgium against Mexico
07:22In World Cup 86
07:28Gutierrez
07:30Amparado
07:31And Raul Jimenez
07:34A crowning moment
07:37In a glorious career
07:38For the veteran Mexican
07:53His first ever World Cup goal
07:56At the right corner
07:58At the right corner
07:58Raul Jimenez in again
08:00And blocked off at the pass
08:01Rockery sees nothing wrong with that
08:03And nor should he
08:04It's good defending
08:05The only thing that caused him
08:07And there's Junes
08:10And Gallardo
08:19Apollos
08:22Goes one way
08:23Then the other
08:24But no power
08:25Or really dangerous direction
08:27In the shot
08:28Gamora
08:35We've actually got players
08:36In numbers forward here
08:37Montes makes the challenge
08:46He's not going to get a chance
08:48To whack it
08:48As if to match
08:49The Mexican mood
08:53Bright sunshine breaks out
