The first match saw Chile break a 48 year drought of FIFA World Cup match wins to the day. A stunning offencive performance that had Honduras on the defence for most of the 90 minutes Jean Beausejour scored a 34th minute goal after a nreak from a failed clearance by oger Espinoza for Honduras. There last FIFA World Cup win was in 1962 on home soil for third place against Yogoslavia.

The second match slated as the main event for the day as one of the favourites, Spain, faced the Swiss in Durban and failed as the swiss upset the apple cart by scoring a single goal against the weight of play. Gelson Fernandes picked of a rebound from Eren Derdiyok’s attempt on goal was deflected, in the 52nd minute to bring about what will be seen as one of the early upset’s of the tournament.

The highlight match of the day featuring the host nation ended with a for once silenced crowd. South Africa had fallen foul of Uraguay on their 2 previous match’s and this was to be no different with Diego Forlan hammering home a goal in the 24th minute. Uraguay didn’t let up until, well into the second half a desperate mistake by South Africa’s keeper Khune ended with him being sent off and a penalty awarded. Forlan duly converted the penalty into a goal in the 80th minute and thus summarily subduing the crowd. To cap it off Alvaro Pereira punished them further by tapping in a cross from Suarez in injury time.

With all draws so far in Group A this now leaves Uraguay at the top with 4 points France and Mexico meet tomorrow.
