Scotland women opened their Commonwealth Games hockey campaign with a 4-2 win over South Africa in Pool A.
Charlotte Watson put Scotland into an early lead but South Africa hit back with two Lisa-Marie Deetlefs goals.
Chris Duncan’s side levelled through Sarah Robertson after great play out wide from Millie Stieger.
And they added a third when Fiona Burnet swept home in the third 15-minute quarter, before Jennifer Eadie’s deflected effort in the closing stages.
