Making only their fourth ever appearance in the Men's World Junior Team Squash Championship, Venezuela ensured a top 16 finish for the first time after upsetting South Africa in the final qualifying round of the World Squash Federation event in the Ecuador capital Quito.
South Africa, the 12th seeds, took the lead against 17/24 seeds Venezuela when squad number one Paul Rodrigues beat Daniel Prato in straight games in Pool E.
But after it was realised that South Africa had lodged an incorrect team order, the remaining two matches were handed to Venezuela - leaving the 12th seeds the ignominy of a finish outside the top 16 for the first time since 1998, and Venezuela the chance to achieve their best ever result.
New Zealand also exceeded their seeded expectations after beating sixth seeds Mexico 2/1 in Pool F. Paul Coll gave the 11th seeds the best start with a 6-11, 11-6, 6-11, 11-8, 11-5 win over Mexican Miled Zarazua. Mexico fought back when Mario Yanez beat Kiwi Michael Sunderland in four games - then Ricardo Lopez took a 2/0 lead in the deciding match.
But Lance Beddoes is made of sterner stuff. The 17-year-old from Auckland battled back to draw level, before clinching the deciding game to beat Lopez 6-11, 3-11, 11-6, 11-9, 11-8 and put New Zealand into a commanding position in the last 16 play-off line-up.
