Scotland stole victory from the hands of the USA with a striking 10-8 win at the World Curling Championships.
Down by two after eight ends, Bruce Mouat's rink clawed their way to a win with an all-important two-stone steal in the final end.
Without the hammer, it was all tactics for Scotland, as they forced several errors out of John Shuster's team and propelled themselves to a fourth win out of five games.
Japan also secured a 10-5 win over New Zealand, sealing the deal in just six ends after grabbing some big scores early on.
With three points straight out of the door, and a big four-pointer in the third, Riku Yanagisawa's team steered themselves to triumph early in Canada.
Elsewhere, Switzerland clinched an 8-4 win over Korea, wrapping up the game in a clinical final two ends.
