STORYLINE
New Zealand fans were jubilant after their side on Tuesday scored its first point at a World Cup after going winless in its debut in 1982.
Fans poured out of Rustenburg's Royal Bafokeng Stadium in various states of emotion, after Winston Reid headed in an equalising goal in injury time to give New Zealand a 1-1 draw with Slovakia in Group F.
Robert Vittek had given Slovakia the lead in the 50th minute, heading in a cross from Stanislav Sestak after Reid let him move free.
Greg Rapley, a fan of the All Whites, said he was delighted with the result.
Slovakia supporter Joseph Kolarovic meanwhile called the result "heartbreaking".
Slovakia coach Vladimir Weiss, who is leading his country in its first international tournament since Czechoslovakia divided in 1993, said his players were deflated after surrendering their lead.
Italy and Paraguay drew 1-1 on Monday, which means all four teams in Group F have one point.
Both New Zealand and Slovakia are regarded as underdogs in South Africa, and after Tuesday's ragged performance, they are both expected to struggle against their group rivals.
Slovakia, which upset the Czech Republic and Poland in qualifying, was the more polished team and created most of the game's scoring chances.
New Zealand's tight man-to-man marking choked Slovakia's disjointed attempts to move forward in the early stages, while the tall Kiwi strikers menaced the Slovakian defenders but struggled to create clear opportunities.
The 38,646-capacity Royal Bafokeng Stadium was only two-thirds full for the match.
