France, June 12 -- Quinones opened the scoring in the ninth minute at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City after capitalising on the poor control of the South Africa defender Sphephelo Sithole.

The 29-year-old slotted the ball past the South Africa goalkeeper Ronwen Williams and raced gleefully to the sidelines to celebrate with Mexico's substitutes as well as his teammates on the field.

Just after the pause, Sithole's day got worse when he was sent off for a professional foul on Brian Gutierrez.

Mexico eventually made their numerical advantage count mid way through the second half.
