Jimenez and Krejci score historic World Cup goals

[Getty Images] Wolves striker Raul Jimenez scored his first World Cup goal for Mexico on Thursday in front of a packed-out home crowd during their 2-0 victory against South Africa. The opening game between the two sides was eventful, with the visitors receiving two red cards in the second half while Cesar Montes was also dismissed for the hosts in added time. Mexico, one of three countries hosting this year's World Cup alongside Canada and the USA, were already leading the contest after nine minutes before Jimenez nodded in the second to secure the win and leave the 35-year-old, who re-joined Wolves on Tuesday, emotional. From near death to World Cup hero - Jimenez's tears for Mexico Jimenez's club team-mate Ladislav Krejci also found his way onto the scoresheet for the first time in the competition after the Czech Republic captain opened the scoring against South Korea with a header in the 59th minute. It marked the first goal for the side in the World Cup in 20 years, but they were unable to claim the victory after South Korea came back from behind to win 2-1. Fellow Wolves player Hwang Hee-Chan also made an appearance during the match, coming off the bench for the Asian side in the 62nd minute.
