Ten minutes after half-time in the opening game of the 2010 World Cup, Siphiwe Tshabalala crashed home a rocket to announce lift-off in the first Mundial to be hosted on the African continent.
Following a first half in which Mexico had had a goal ruled out for offside and tested Itumeleng Khune on multiple occasions, South Africa put together a move of real quality, culminating in Kagisho Digkacoi's delightful through ball which set Tshabalala away.
In two touches, he sculpted a moment he later described as the highlight of his career, coming as it did on the occasion of his 50th international appearance, in the opening game of not just a World Cup but the World Cup.
