The women's Black Sticks have drawn 2-2 with Korea this morning to remain unbeaten at the Champions' Trophy in Argentina.
But they were saved by influence of technology right on the fulltime buzzer.
After letting a two-goal lead slip against hosts Argentina yesterday, the Black Sticks were keen to atone against their lower-ranked opponents.
And when Charlotte Harrison was allowed too much room in midfield, they got an early chance.
Cathryn Finlayson put the Kiwis ahead, and 10 minutes later Katie Glynn should have doubled their lead - but she wasn't denied when presented a second opportunity.
Leading 2-2 at the break, the Black Sticks seemed to tire in the second spell as the Koreans began to dominate possession and shots on goal.
The Kiwis defended grimly to keep their lead, but they couldn't block out the aerial threat.
Bianca Russell kept them level with a string of fine saves before they'd looked to have conceded the lead in the dying seconds.
But Korea were adjudged to have played the ball from inside the D, the Black Sticks holding on for a fortunate 2-2 draw.
