Club World Cup: a red card in an opener, the first since...
A sad entry into history.
On Thursday evening, for the World Cup opener against Mexico, Sphephelo Sithole endured a terrible first World Cup appearance, being at fault for Mexico’s first goal before being sent off in the second half.
The Tondela player committed a foul as the last defender while Guiterrez was through on goal.
With this dismissal, the South African defender unfortunately became the first player to receive a red card in a World Cup opening match since Bolivia’s Marco Etcheverry against Germany in 1994.
An absolutely dreadful first appearance for the 27-year-old player, who will also miss Bafana Bafana’s second match against the Czech Republic.
