First-ever expulsions in opening World Cup
Mexico's national team achieved a historic 2-0 victory over South Africa in the opening of the 2026 World Cup, marking the first time in World Cup opening matches that three players were sent off—a truly unprecedented incident. Mexico scored first through Julian Quinones and secured the win with a goal from Rául Jiménez, although the team's overall performance did not satisfy the head coach. The match also marked the beginning of a new edition featuring 48 teams for the first time, held across three countries, with 104 matches organized—also a first in the tournament's history.
