Aguirre after the victory over South Africa: We could have won 4-0!

Mexico started their World Cup adventure with a victory, defeating South Africa 2-0 in the first match of the tournament.

After the match, Mexico coach Javier Aguirre appeared pleased with his team's performance, stressing that the result could have been even more profound.

"It's a very big stage and it makes your legs shake a little. Then we stabilized with possession, entered the opposing zone and had no problems defending.

"The match ended 2-0, but it could have easily been 4-0," Aguirre declared.

The Mexican coach also commented on the fans' reaction during the match, saying that they have the right to express their opinion.

"The fans have the right to whistle, even though I didn't hear them. The most important thing is the three points," he said.

With this victory, Mexico takes an important step in the race to qualify for the next stage of the World Cup, while coach Aguirre expects the team to continue to improve in the next matches.
