The situation became significantly harder for the visitors shortly after the break when Yaya Sithole was shown a straight red card for a dangerous tackle. Mexico capitalized on the numerical advantage in the 67th minute, with Raúl Jiménez heading home a cross from Roberto Alvarado to double the lead. South Africa’s discipline continued to falter late in the match when substitute Themba Zwane was dismissed following a VAR review in the 84th minute, leaving them with only nine players on the field. Although Mexico’s César Montes was also sent off for a reckless challenge during stoppage time, the home side comfortably maintained their lead to claim an important victory.

According to a DSS statement issued on Thursday, security forces acted on credible intelligence to raid an ESN armoury in the Agbani area of Enugu State. The intelligence indicated that the group planned to disguise themselves in National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) uniforms to carry out attacks on selected schools, intending to create a false impression of a bandit invasion in the region.
During this raid, operatives recovered a significant cache of weapons and gear, including:
-
Eight AK-47 rifles, 12 magazines, and 323 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition.
-
One smoke grenade launcher and two teargas canisters.
-
Various pieces of NYSC apparel, specifically 10 trousers, eight T-shirts, and four lanyards.
Several members of the organization were reportedly arrested during the operation. This follows another successful raid conducted on Tuesday by a combined team of DSS and military personnel near the Garki area of Enugu, where they seized an additional cache of arms, including a rocket launcher, rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) components, three AK-47 rifles, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
These security actions follow the recent arrest of five suspected arms couriers connected to the November 21, 2025, abduction of students and staff at St. Mary’s Catholic School in Papiri Village, Niger State.
