BHUBANESWAR: In a bizarre incident on Tuesday at the Men's Hockey World Cup, the Japan team had 12 players on the pitch during a penalty corner set-piece in the dying moments of their Pool B match against South Korea, which ended in a 2-1 win for the Koreans.
Had Japan scored off their last penalty corner, the match could have ended in a 2-2 draw with unfair advantage of an extra Japanese player on the pitch.
