Mexico made a strong start in the World Cup, defeating South Africa 2-0 in the opening match. The match, played at the iconic Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, saw Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez score the goals for Mexico.

Mexico’s Road to Victory

The Mexicans rebounded from the massive disappointment of being eliminated after the group stage four years ago in Qatar. Mexico has reached the quarterfinals twice in its history, and both times it was the host country — in 1970 and 1986.

Mexico now has three points in Group A and will next play South Korea next Thursday in Guadalajara. South Africa will play the Czech Republic on the same day in Atlanta.
