The Mexican national team defeated the South African national team 2-0 in Group A of the North and Central America World Cup.

The opening match, held at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium, was filled with cheers from Mexican supporters. Mexico launched an aggressive attack from the start. Quiñones scored the first goal in the 9th minute of the first half. In the second half, South Africa had a player sent off, and taking advantage of their numerical advantage, their ace, R. Jimenez, scored their second goal in the 22nd minute, sealing the victory.

Mexico and South Africa have a grudge against each other for a draw in the opening game of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The Mexican national team got off to a good start with this victory. Coach Aguirre said, ``It's no wonder my legs were shaking on such an overwhelming stage. It was a good result to start with a win.''
