South African teams reach quarterfinals to claim history at home World Cup: The South African men’s and women’s teams rewrote their history books at the Indoor World Hockey Cup in Pretoria on Thursday as both secured first-ever quarterfinal berths.
The Argentinians equalised in the second quarter, but Chad Futcher made it 3-2, collecting the ball after a great dance upfield by Mustapha and then getting the ball past the rapidly advancing goalkeeper.“Honestly, I was pretty much staring at Musi,” said Futcher. “The brilliance of him coming up the middle of the field was just stunning. I had a lucky break when the ball came.“The keeper was coming out, I saw out the corner of my eye and luckily he went down and I went over him.
”Dayaan and Futcher each scored again to make it 5-3 in the third quarter, and again the Argentinians levelled matters, their fifth goal coming from a penalty stroke conceded by Mustapha who knocked the ball away from the goal too hard for the umpire’s liking.He protested at the decision and continued showing his disapproval on-field during a brief break, holding his stick up with a look of disbelief on his face.
