Detailed explanation-1: -The FIRST time the host country had ever been eliminated in the first round was in South Africa.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first African football World Cup held in South Africa between 11 June and 11 July 2010 was one full of contradictions.
Detailed explanation-3: -South Africa vs Mexico was the opening match of the World Cup, held on 11 June 2010. It was described as an “enthralling” and “pulsating” match. South Africa opened the scoring in the 55th minute after Siphiwe Tshabalala scored off a pass through Mexico’s defence by Kagiso Dikgacoi.
