The 2026 World Cup begins with an unusual record, three red cards in the first

The 2026 World Cup has started in spectacular fashion, but not just for the goals. The match between Mexico and South Africa turned into one of the most tense matches in recent years, with the referee issuing a record three red cards for the first match of a World Cup.

Mexico, one of the tournament's host nations, triumphed 2-0 thanks to goals from Julian Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez, securing the first three points in Group A.

However, the main focus was on the sending-offs. South Africa were left with nine players after red cards for Sphephelo Sithole and Themba Zwane, while Mexico captain César Montes was also sent off in extra time.
