Ryan Archibald scored a late winner as New Zealand twice came from behind to beat Canada 3-2 at the men's field hockey World Cup.
Canada opened the scoring in the Pool A match through Mark Pearson's second-minute strike, but Priyesh Bhana equalized for New Zealand in the 11th minute.
Canada went into the interval 2-1 up after Philip Wright's opportunistic shot in the 20th.
New Zealand dominated in midfield in the second session and leveled through a penalty corner conversion by Nick Haig in the 46th.
Archibald put the Kiwis in front three minutes from fulltime with a strike from the top of the striking circle.
Canada's defeat came just hours after their men's ice hockey team had won Olympic gold with a 3-2 victory over the USA in Vancouver.
