In the whole world on Wednesday there were friendly matches of national teams.
The new world champion Spain managed to snatch a draw in an away match against Mexico in added time by the referee.
Forward Javier Hernandez had put the hosts ahead, but substitute David Silva saved the titled Spaniards from their first defeat just a month after the world championships.
World vice-champion the Netherlands, missing key players, played a 1-1 draw with Ukraine in Donetsk.
The only goalkeeper going to South Africa, Michel Vorm, was selected for this match, but the Dutch even took the lead when Jermaine Lens scored from close range in the 73rd minute.
However, Aleksandr Aliyev soon restored balance with an impressive penalty kick.
After missing two goals, Denmark managed to grab a 2-2 draw with Germany.
Mario Gomez and Patrick Helmes' goals in the 73rd minute gave Germany a 2-0 lead, but Dennis Rommedahl and Mads Junker equalized.
Debuting at the helm of the French national team, Laurent Blanc's changed team lost 1-2 to Norway in Oslo.

Nevertheless, Erik Huseklepp's double led to the hosts' victory.
