FIFA World Cup 2010 All Goals

South Africa, as the host, played in the opening match against Mexico. In terms of player quality, South Africa wasn't strong enough to defeat Mexico. However, they surprised everyone by holding El Tri (Mexico's nickname) to a 1-1 draw. Unfortunately, South Africa failed to secure a victory in the second match, losing 0-3 to Uruguay. Nevertheless, in the final match, they left a sweet impression after crushing France, who were the finalists in the 2006 World Cup. South Africa won 2-1, and in the process, made France finish at the bottom of Group A in the 2010 World Cup, even though they also failed to advance to the Round of 16. On the other hand, there was also a surprise from an African representative, Ghana. Yes, the Black Stars (Ghana's national team nickname) successfully silenced the audience. Placed in Group D with Germany, Serbia, and Australia, Ghana remained calm enough to reach the Round of 16! They collected four points in the final standings of Group A. This record was sufficient to see Ghana through to the Round of 16, alongside Germany, who topped the group with 6 points.
