The main prize-winner of the African harvest, Yaya Sitole, became the author of the first victory at the 2026 World Championships.

The incident took place on the 50th match of the tournament against the Mexico national team. The 27-year-old football player broke the rules on Brian Gutierrez, who avoided the goalkeeper every day. The referee showed Sitora a straight red card, depriving the African team of a minority.

After the awarded penalty kick, the Mexicans were unable to achieve a numerical advantage in the episode - Raul Jimenez shot against the wall.

For Sitore this match became a nightmare. Already in the 9th season, the midfielder indulged in a rough beating against a powerful penalty maidan, having wasted the ball under the pressure of his opponent. This is where Julian Quinones quickly became the scorer of the first goal for the World Cup.

The match between Mexico and Deep Africa will take place at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. After the defeat of Sitore, the Mexicans continue to lead 1:0.
