“His Majesty King Misuzulu kaZwelithini has informed me that he intends to undertake a trip to the State of Qatar. His Majesty has been invited, together with Her Majesty Queen Ntokozo Mayisela-Zulu, to attend the 2022 Fifa World Cup."

This will be the first official trip outside of the country by the king since his coronation in October. A week after that event, he was the guest of honour at the final of the MTN8 final between Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, as per SowetanLIVE.

Monnapule Saleng's stunning freekick was the difference between the sides that day.

2022 FIFA World Cup: Amazing Siphiwe Tshabalala goal shot in 2010 in the crowd emerges with Peter Drury commentary

The date, June 11, 2010, is forever a day of historic significance in sports history.

South Africa and Mexico opened the first-ever FIFA World Cup on African soil at Soccer City in Johannesburg, as reported by Sports Brief. Significantly, the day will be remembered for Siphiwe Tshabalala's 55th-minute thunderbolt to put Bafana Bafana in the lead over El Tri. What makes the goal is Peter Drury's commentary to describe the goosebump-inducing moment.

In the dregs of YouTube's ecosystem has emerged a video filmed by a member of the crowd who was in attendance and - incredibly - managed to capture the goal in its entirety.
