SINGAPORE - The score was tied at 1-1 in the third quarter of the game when Northland Secondary hockey player Muhammad Raihan went down with a sprained ankle in the Schools National B Division Boys' bronze-medal match.
After a brief medical time-out, the umpire blew the whistle to resume play against St Andrew's Secondary. The Saints defenders threw the ball to the other side of the pitch for their opponents to start but a miscommunication saw one of their forwards taking the ball and scoring a goal, giving them a 2-1 lead in the March 29 match.
