Bafana Bafana opened their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign on a losing note. A nine men Bafana Bafana side  team lost 2-nil to co-hosts Mexico in the opening match of the tournament last night. South Africa conceded a goal in each half, and their bad record of failing to win their opening match of the World Cup continues.

For a review on last night's match we're joined by former Bafana Bafana captain and 1996 AFCON winner, Mr. Neil Tovey and sport executive plus former professional player, Mr. Thulaganyo Gaoshubelwe.
