In the opening match of the FIFA World Cup against South Africa, Mexican forward Quiñones scored the team's first goal, also the first goal of this FIFA World Cup.

After scoring, Quiñones performed a somewhat special celebration. Old fans might find this move familiar, as his celebration was a "remote tribute" to South African player Siphiwe Tshabalala.

In the opening match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, host South Africa drew 1-1 with Mexico, and Tshabalala scored the first goal for his team in that match. After scoring that goal, Tshabalala and his teammates performed a memorable dance. Quiñones's celebration today was almost identical to Tshabalala's dance.
