registering a 1-0 win in the opening Pool A match of the <!-- -->FIH men&#8217;s hockey World Cup<!-- --> on Friday.<br \/>After a barren and hard-fought first two quarters, Argentina, the 2016 Olympic champions, scored the winner in the 42nd minute through a field effort from <!-- -->Casella Maico<!-- -->.<br \/>But it was far from rosy for the <!-- -->Los Leones<!-- --> as it was South Africa who pressed hard in the first quarter but failed to convert their chances into positive results.<br \/>In the second quarter, Argentina came back strongly and secured three penalty corners in succession but wasted all as South Africa defended stoutly.<br \/>After the change of ends, South Africa had the first shy at the goal in the form of a penalty corner but the opportunity was wasted.<br \/>Argentina broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute when Casella capitalised on a counter-attack and scored a brilliant field goal from Toscani&#8217;s pass.<br \/>Down a goal, South Africa came out attacking in the fourth and final quarter, but the Argentine defence stood firm to stifle their rivals&#8217; forays and register a hard-fought win.<br \/>Argentina will face World No.1 Australia on January 16 here, while South Africa will take on France in their next pool match on the same day.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                  window.TimesApps
