Franco has recovered from a right toe injury. Marquez from a leg injury. Normally a center half Marquez, but he will be playing just in front of that back four. Franco leading the line with the sublime talents of Bella and Giovani Dos Santos on either flank. Referee today is Ravanov, a 32year-old schooled football instructor from Pakistan. He becomes the first to referee at a World Cup finals, though he has plenty of experience refereeing in European Champions League football. So hopefully this is not going to be the occasion that is too big for him. Sure. Both those captains too will be making the save for their players Toronto and Aaron Mua. by the way, one and only two players alongside Steven Pino who survived for the 2002 World Cup campaign. Carlos Alberto Pereira about to enter his sixth World Cup finals with his fifth nation. Javier Greer, the Mexican coach in charge for the second spell, was the man who took them to the 2002 finals. So, he knows what this stage is all about. It's Africa's first World Cup and it's the host South Africa who helped get us underway against the Mexican side who have to compete against not just the 11 men on the field but all the emotion that has gone into this occasion and the deafening utterly deafening racket of the thousands of booze that scream out around this stadium. Mexican fans are issuing their olays as their side make a confident start here. South Africa back in possession with Lel and Yanik and cleared out of play for a throw in just inside the South African half. On paper, you'd have to say the Mexican starters favorites here. Their 14th appearance in a World Cup finals and have appeared in all the last four. South Africa just three to their name and a real golf in class in terms of the FIFA rankings. South Africa rated 83rd, Mexico up in 17th. push forward. That's a lot of the first wicket. Marquez with a little push to his left. Looks as though it's going to be Toronto who's playing in that pole in midfield row and switch right to Agia losting it forward as a gear from Fuka but pushed back just for the moment. This is good early possession though by the Mexicans. Again between them they can't keep hold with a challenge but it's Mexico have it back again. Aia with a dangerous ball in and Kud TRIES TO GET TO IT and it's forced wide off the moon of Dos Santos. Early chance for Mexico which reflects the dominant start they've made and a fingertip at the toe end saving South Africa. Kuno with a save and a challenge from Mua. Here comes the corner. Delivered it well. Really is a backs to the wall start here for the South African defense. Sera was happy to see it out of play for a throw to his side. My word, what a confident start by the Ka team the striker. A man who was back there to head it away. Cena with a header. Over the throw rather hits the back of Ghaka. Cena looking for the return ball. A little bit of a push there according to the referee. So South Africa have a free kick here. It's really their minds just a little. are here. So the hosts are just about the lowest ranked North Korea and the lower ranking team. So they got the lowest rank side who is the World Cup finals, but they do have one or two issues on their side here. The third time an African country has played in an opening game in the previous two occasions. The African team has produced a shock win. Cameroon back in 199 in 2002, but he's certainly Mexico who made the best start here. Certain run from dos Santos and looks wide and finds a who's got a bit of space here. Suarez looking to play the neat ball there. Not quite picking up the man he wanted, but the Santos is there to pick it up again. And again, it's some fairly desperate South African defending which in the end gets the ball away and in the end a throw in. Mexican certainly won't be overwhelmed by the occasion. today. Here's Los Santos again able to make the move that Kun is not the most confident of start catch with a long ball forward towards Impala who's guilty of a foul as well be anxious to steal the nerves of his side Yep. Sus as well as his over hit. Push forward but at the end of that nice shot by dos Santos. into this form as well. Industrious warm session before the 12 micro must be endless space in which to work as well. It's real attackable side passes very much as well. Stay there. later challenge Marquez for much of the heart of defense. deep away. does well. This corner further he was on side but he couldn't quite gather that in. ball just seems to be settling a little now down there in defense for South Africa do to keep possession criticism to consider this perhaps a little ruthlessness in front of goal to by Taylor and Perez has the up play by the goalkeeper but he's conceded a throw in a decent position for South Africa to maybe build Maybe some counter attacks over Santos. Hello. This is committing to get here. all the way back to the line is the Mexicans as they're playing a patient game in possession trying to frustrate their opponents Rodriguez Marquez. sitting back one of six stretch there towards a but he's quite clearly offside evidence in his favor as well because there a guy in France as well Mexicans and it's the same makeup of group that England had when they were hosting in 1966 in their group and of course they went on to win that tournament that year and I think in South Africa is getting quite too much going away the prospect of South Africa actually winning the tournament I think would be the initial area would be something that would go down quite It is the Mexican class started this tournament. Just one got here making a move on that right hand side. Just snaps up the tus quite animated down there on the edge of his Guess I'm talking to Look at this. down the middle again because Santos has found himself in good position. Here's A to be closed down by Tala who's done a decent job of sticking close but has conceded a corner kick. His industry alone is what's going into this team ahead of Marcela. His coach likes what he says in terms of how he works on the field. Some high quality attackers in his last few games and he's done a very good job. The referee just making sure there's no ahead of this corner kick being taken. Here it comes. Ded on a decent ball serve himself that he'll get this down on target because put himself in a fairly good position there between a couple of defenders. Another ball still ahead of his work on Saturday going two warm up games before as well. There should be a shortage of confidence of confidence that the classic here should some stage series passes for South Africa that South African but might just do it here claiming he was bothered and the referee says he was but that was the nicest passes of play so far by South Africa together passes and a minimal touches on Salad but he got what he wanted a free kick in an excellent position chance maybe to address Oscar Perez for the very first time. Looks like it's going to be Steven Pena who's going to take this and he's going to go direct the goal. The eyes have it as Pino waits and measures his shot, but this is very considerable distance. Certainly not close enough to Oscar for South Africa there. 17 minutes of the match play. Here's a smile and beating him for pace as well. And again that little dink ball but this time had it well there easily cut out run up towards here's pen making a run down his left hand side but he can't be found it's a hand ball against it looked as though he was in control of that but it is a hand ball it's a first yellow card necessarily for the original defense but mainly for the way he reacted to it refus allow South Africa to take their quick catching on that bar. He's a little unlucky, but he got absolutely spot on. Nice convincing bench side of the foot in here. Standing close as well. down the left to go chest after. There's a couple of options here. Take over there. So, it's directly in towards that penalty area. That's clumsy and it has given Mexico the chance to break here. Do Santos on the left foot will drive it and not too far away. But an opportunity presented by South Africa when the ball was given away and Giovani dos Santos who's already catching the eye in this game with an effort a confident effort but just swerve wide accepting the apologies you feel of his defenders for putting it under pressure. cannot allow their concentration to slip. His biggest shot midfielder went on too many times before this last season in the Europa League finder see off to not be able to follow that one up. There's Bella. It's nice now and he's taken the challenge as well which is inside the free kick over there. That's stretch but no doubt about the contract. So Toronto to take defenders on their neck again under pressure. 20 minutes playing as expected but getting down and away by Kakar picked up again though floats it across by Gier but a conflict catch by Kuna just seems to snap the ball up in the penalty area doesn't retire That's going to continue to be one to Shala driving in. That's the control by Liza C. Temples over there. So the most physical at times see you again. Throw in the likes of Steven Pe. Keeps it in. Shala striking across is over there too. guess the option of Huarez wide right but besides it's more adventurous to go down the middle but has lost the ball has the place again. They're breaking forward in numbers here and Ka with an opportunity. Yes wide and maybe the opportunity is passing it by tries to strike it in and not the safest play of the hands for Oscar Perez but he did catch it in the second attempt to be disturbed by the amount of space that was suddenly available to South Africa on the left and edge of that Mexican defense opportunity just rushed away from them showed so tiny ball these days and we'll see there. again switched towards again Here's one looking for the exit only a Mexican player as he tries to relieve the pressure but good work by Impala to win it back for South Africa. But he gets a move forward here playing it further to Gekka who does like to go for the spectacular at times that that opportunity was allowed back to kept in his collection. It is a flat end, does it? Rodriguez has long ball collected by this is Franco again as South Africa going to have to hurry to close things down and not doing a terrific job of it. So is making his way through his eventually able to clear. Santos chasing a lost cause that very bright start by the Mexican. The South Africans have certainly dug themselves into this game times before those only five years ago in the Continental Cup game. South one two winners but the Mexican won the two previous games to win again here today is becoming a little difficult they've been with a push so it will be a free kick just when it looked as though themselves a real opportunity I was thinking to get there nobody decision for his assistant for Crossing Santos is winning a free kick and it is going to be a yellow car for the challenge for causing problems here. Los Santos lovely balance to him quickness as well just causing some compensations against South African defense and when the hand did come make the most of it to go down and pick up the free kick. Marquez seems to take control up here with Barcelona now too far out for a second goal. A ball that's just ahead of the goalkeeper seems to dislike because of the way he moves in the air. So Marquez will be encouraged to go for goal but one way to be just sight is on there as they really want to go for the spectacular free kicks. So here's got room on that right in front there are more in yellow in the middle of the first attempt but he will have a second opportunity here once too beat for pace and a decent ball in but the pass too close to cause the goalkeeper any problems there in the face out of slicing his clothes off the back of the head against 5 minutes in a half an hour We still away our first goal 2010. wanted it and again it's come down the middle picks up the pieces anticipate that balloon and he was scoring too far ahead of him going out of play so possession commencement and so far 61% possession to keep the ball This is TW Baylor. Two to his left including Pen. Three in the middle now for Pen. He can't get the crossover. It's blocked away by the defender Marquez this time. Have to take this one. I'm not entirely sure what he was aiming for there. Now it's boric with a little more ease than should have been the case to clear again. Here's Los Santos here. against Rodri wide wide as so often seems to be the case to agree. He's a tough ball in the defenses arriving. This is Ba looking for the man in the middle and he might just have found him here. Blocked away Franco's effort by Kun who did well to spread himself wide. Franco looked to have got the better of that South African defense. Careful ad measure to the last ball. Kune arms and legs outstretched just about denying the time for Mexican keep it out. He kept it shal to the defenders such an important role in the start to the build. Hope there will be more pressure on this South African goal. neatly turning. Always going to get a free kick. the chis for gaka switching it again to a gear over here real chance by just getting enough on the again. It's given away unnecessarily. Here comes Franka. Now it's Carlos Bellow. Look for goal with Gardi Dos Santos arriving as well. It's twixed and between neither on target nor a good enough ball. defense is just getting exposed here though from their point of view on too many worrying occasions. Carlos Alberto Guerrero is made aware of that challenge. The referee She's pleased. He's right foot. He looks to the effect on another substitution here. There's Marcus here. Yeah, easy one for the lines. And that's a good midfield. Two in the throw. So they're looking to build again now. Here's Shabana. skip on the play right to kaka one hit and hope by the central defender which is only the Mexican for given it Simon a second attempt. Here's Shamala looking to play it through but angle not right for the chase of it. He was coming through a pace. He was offside anyway. He was not going to go on the end. So trying to be a little clever there and once again has given it away and here comes Bella on that left foot trying to cur on maybe try to work it out. And it's dos Santos from the angle and the deflection takes it wide. And once again, the South African defense is finding itself just a little at sixes and sevens. Could in the end like Kumaro and his hands behind his back, but that could have gone anywhere. It really could another corner for Mexico asking his defenders, where were you? So Toronto on the right foot to try and kill one in swinging high as well. The touch is offside. He is offside. There was a touch I think by Santos and when Baylor took it the defender on the line but the goalkeeper was ahead of him. So despite the complaints, it will not stand and I think that was the right decision. Now watch this here as it's as the ball comes across. There's a touch there for the Mexican player. The goalkeeper already well advanced and so turned it in. There was only one man between him and the line. I think I knew well trying to frustrate him and that's not counted. It was the right decision. He had the benefit of the slow motion replays to have a look again and see exactly what was what is the first time got it spot on. And here Maxel looks to press against and Javani do Santos who wants a little clumsy but recovers his poise back to Huarez. Here's Marquez for comes Rodriguez. Marquez once more. Toronado turns it back to Gia. Quick footed stop now from Mexico. Huarez to Gia once more. The coming out from the Mexican supporters. They're enjoying what they're seeing here. Guarez trying to tease it in just the overhead again and Kuna takes it comfortably and at the other end of Baylor has wondered his left side. You see it again. And you can see that when the touch comes off the Mexican here, the goalkeepers ahead of play, it's quite likely was at that moment in an offside position. Here again, he's he's making himself a lot of space down his right hand side. He's not always getting the service that that space deserves. So, another one that's over here. a tumble. The referee was looking for an advantage in Mexican way because the foul actually was on a side there. There was no to the Mexicans to get in what is a punishing position. again here just up an opportunity in terms of the opportunity as prepares to fire one in. It's a decent ball and another opportunity. Rangers had a couple now with a head. Find yourself in the right place. Getting between defenders, but able to keep it down on its own. by the way as loud as a chains by 60,000 which is approximate inside the stadium here today already impress impression of how loud the noise is two turning it in. Some build up by the South Africans but putting it out of the but so here's a South African corner capable of playing some very deep football in that third of the field a couple of times now. defense with this century of course Ireland is having a bit of a tussle. Now it comes keeper comes and stretches and came on the defender a corner at the other end and Perez was nowhere near that Franco who was right there defending the shots go. So take over with this corner kick four in yellow to two hard position here. Back to recession on his side here. Here's a decent nice ball for a decent ball into Mea was only inches away. And there might be more problems here for the Mexicans because here comes Musa trying to tease it and he hits the defender instead and it will be another corner kick. So for the first time of the game really South Africa enjoying a very good sustained lot of pressure here is very very close very very close to making it clear but it is another corner with his left foot looks to swing that in again the goalkeeper not too confident a part to has been stretched. anybody behind him to turn into sl on it. Some important signs for the South African side. Thousands and thousands of support supporters inside the stadium. Here's Mexico as second here for again confidence by the defenses but that's a good possession again. Here's Marquez. Go all the way back to the go. Here's Rodriguez. If they can mar who always spells data, but there's Frank off the referee's assist right here. difficult. It is the end of the half. So Steven P saw his side make a very nervous start to the game. The Mexicans producing all the early pressure and one or two scares. South Africans rode one or two chances for themselves at the other end. But neither side able to make the breakthrough. in what has been at times a krenetic first half and certainly a nervous first half on the part of both sets of defenders but a halime score. Caesar still looking for a first goal in this 2010 World Cup in South Africa. It is South Africa nil, Mexico nil at Halime. [music] >> Naturally, it's Lucas Twilight, the man he replaces a little before this World Cup campaign. Many of us would have expected Sa Marela to have been the first choice left back. He got a bit of an injury in one of the warm-up games to allow Twa to get his opportunity and he did impress Duala in the opening in those warm up games. But you have seen him pulled out a number of times for Kia in the white has an awful lot of space. So off we go in this second half. So having made just that one change Marcela coming on and the left back he's replaced and what are the next 45 minutes hold here. Mexico started so brightly in the first period, hoping for something similar in the second. South Africa hoping now that they've steaded their nerves. There's been a lot of talk before this tournament about a home card advantage is going to give the South African such a big boost just bounces away from Salce. Yeah, wonder just have an atmosphere actually does affect themselves themselves that will raise to the occasion but
