Mexico got their World Cup off to a winning start on Thursday. Now it's the turn of the other two co-hosts.
Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez got the goals as El Tri beat Bafana Bafana 2-0 in a game that saw three red cards handed out during the second half.
On Friday, Canada hosts Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto. Hopes are high for Jesse Marsch's side to progress from Group B, where they are also drawn alongside Switzerland and Qatar.
To do that, Canada will need to secure a maiden World Cup win and improve upon a record that reads played six, lost six across their two previous tournament appearances in 1986 and 2022.

Bosnia qualified to the chagrin of many in Toronto's Italian ex-patriot community after they beat the Azzurri on penalties. Veteran striker Edin Dzeko, formerly of Manchester City, Roma and Inter Milan, is shouldering his nation's hopes for one last time.
Attention will then turn towards Los Angeles for the United States' first game in Group D alongside Paraguay.
A nation expects, but Paraguay, ranked No. 40 in the world (USMNT is 16th), will be no pushovers, having advanced from the famously arduous CONMEBOL qualifying section.
La Albirroja finished sixth but were only behind Brazil on goal difference as one of four sides to take 28 points from their 18 matches. They claimed home wins over the Selecao and reigning world champions Argentina.
The sides met in a November 2025 friendly, which the United States won 2-1 in Pennsylvania thanks to goals from Gio Reyna and Folarin Balogun. Paraguay had Omar Alderete sent off.
