Best Answer

The first match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup took place between hosts South Africa and Mexico. After a goalless first half, South Africa took the lead courtesy of a goal by Kaiser Chiefs' Siphiwe Tshabalala, followed by a somewhat elaborate celebration, with the twenty-five year old leading a dance amongst his teammates.

After the promise of a South African win in their home country, Mexico's Rafael Marquez greeted a Guadardo cross with control and a right-footer to equalize with eleven minutes left on the clock.
