October 12th, 2010 - 6:22 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Oct 12 (IANS) An extra-time penalty corner goal by Justin Reid-Ross powered South Africa to a 3-2 win against a 10-man Pakistan in a classification match for 5-6 positions in the men’s hockey competition at the Commonwealth Games here Tuesday.
In a closely-fought match that was marred by a red card suspension of Pakistan’s Irfan Muhammad for misconduct in the 58th minute, South Africa did well to come back from 0-2 down to tie the score and force the extra-time.
