Shabba's 2010 WC Strike: A Look Back At The Goal That Captivated A Nation
Siphiwe Tshabalala celebrates scoring the first goal during the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Group A match between Bafana Bafana and Mexico at the FNB Stadium on 11 June 2010 in Johannesburg, South Africa.On This Day, Kaizer Chiefs legend Siphiwe Tshabalala scored a goal for Bafana Bafana at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, that would change the course of his life.
Tshabalala unleashed the venomous strike with his left foot from inside the area, after a net line-breaking pass from Kagisho Dikgacoi, leaving Óscar Pérez zero chance to make a save, as Shabba struck the ball with such vim that it flew past the Mexico goalkeeper and hit the top right corner of the posts, just moments before the hour mark.
From Peter Drury's rhapsodic commentary to the"Shabba dance" celebration, the goal gave us so many moment to savour. Shabba is certainly in no rush to forget the special moment and annually, he and the rest of the football world pay tribute to 2010 Puskas Award-winning goal. He works with brands such as Betway, Nedbank, Future Life, Coca-Cola, and even CAF, with Japanese car makers, Hyundai, taking him to Qatar for the previous World Cup. It's safe to say the Shabba brand will only get bigger from here, despite his best playing days being far behind him.
