FULL TIME: 

Canada and South Africa not separated after 4 quarter as the games ends in a draw.

A deflection and its a long corner for South Africa. Soth Africa take referrel but in vain as refree says no reason to change on field decision and free hit for defense.

GREEN CARD: 

Taylor Dart gets a green card and South Africa down to 10 players

Quarter four begins. Canada on attack but the ball intercepted just outside the circle. 

Penalty stroke for Canada as the ball hits the foot of post man And the teams scores the equaliser. Tupper took the penalty stroke and score the equaliser. Canada 1-1 South Africa

And it's a GOAL!!!.

South Africa scores game's first goal to have an upper hand over Canada. 

Nqobile Ntuli scores a superb goal to increase their chances for atleast cross-over.
 

South Africa again in attacking mode but Canada are not an easy side to defeat. Both teams are in their best attack and defense. A different strategy can only be a game changer in this goalless (so far) game.   

2nd quarter ends with quarter 1 results. Both the teams are still goalless. Although, South Africa are in attacking mode but have failed to convert their attack. Same goes for Canada as they have too missed chances to score. 

2nd quarter began with high hopes but Canada missed it. Both the teams will look for improvement in their games. South Africa will be more alert and attentive as have already they wasted two penalties. 

1st Quarter ends. Despite having the opportunity to score twice, South Africa failed to score as a brilliant drag flick as a deflection from Canada's Goal Keeper Carter touch bar and went above the crossbar.

Penatly corner for South Africa. It was second corner for the team. but it went goalless 

Both the teams are all set to lock horns and have announced their playing XI for today's clash.
