South Africa enjoyed their first taste of success at the hockey World Cup with a deserved victory over Pakistan.
Both South Africa and Pakistan have been eliminated from the knockout round after only winning one of their four matches.
Pakistan opened the scoring in the fifth minute through striker Rehan Butt to lead 1-0 at halftime. But Gareth Carr equalized in the 38th minute on a penalty corner before field goals from Ian Haley, Tanie Paton and Marvin Harper gave South Africa a 4-1 lead.
Pakistan pulled back two goals in the last three minutes on penalty corners through Muhammad Imran and Waseem Ahmed.
