JOHANNESBURG, June 11 (AFP): Hosts South Africa drew 1-1 with Mexico in the opening Group A match at the World Cup finals here Friday.
Siphiwe Tshabalala had given the South Africans the lead in the 55th minute but the Mexicans levelled through Rafael Marquez in the 79th.
However, while the South Africans extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches they will feel that it is three points gone begging after striker Katlego Mphela hit the post in the 90th minute.
