Late goal forces draw
NZPA Sydney A late goal by the Mexican striker, Ricardo Castro, forced a 2-2 draw with Australia in yesterday’s international soccer match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Castro’s goal in the eighty-sixth minute, his second of the game, matched goals by the Australians, Ken Boden and John Yzendoom. Mexico led, 1-0, at half-
time after Castro’s headed goal in the thirty-ninth minute.
Boden’s successful penalty kick 11 minutes after the break levelled the scores and Yzendoom gave the Socceroos a 2-1 lead 12 minutes later.
Australia had the match in its grasp but frittered away its advantage with basic errors which allowed Mexico back into the match and led to Castro’s late equaliser.
