After arguably their worst performance as a group in the opening match of the World Cup against Mexico, Bafana Bafana redeemed themselves with a courageous display in the most important game of their lives.
Bafana Bafana wrote a script fit for Hollywood when they rose from a poor showing in their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup to make history by advancing to the knockout stage of the global showpiece for the first time.

MEXICO CITY: Mateo Chávez and Julián Quiñones scored in a six-minute span early in the second half, and Mexico beat the Czech Republic 3-0 on Wednesday night to win all three of its World Cup group-stage matches for the first time. The 22-year-old Chávez, in his first World Cup, opened the scoring in the 55th minute and Quiñones scored his second goal of the tournament in the 61st. Alvaro Fidalgo added a goal in second-half stoppage time.
