2010 FIFA World Cup, Group F: Late Goal Gains Draw For Kiwis

One game was played in Group F in the World Cup on Tuesday in South Africa.

At Rustenburg:

New Zealand gained their first-ever point in World Cup finals competition with a 1-1 draw against Slovakia.  Robert Vittek put the Slovaks on the board in the 50th minute.  But a goal in second-half stoppage time by Winston Reid (90'+3, that's him, after he took off his jersey) gained the deadlock and the point for the All Whites.
