After an early chance had fallen to Luca Cerri, it was Dariush who opened the scoring. Accelerating away from three defenders, he flashed a low shot past James into the corner. Allegra equalized almost immediately, with a dreath-taking shot that arced high over the despairing fingers of Enrico.
Dariush tried to strike back immediately in a move that was almost a replica of the first goal but this time the ball thundered back off the bar. Then Antoine struck the bar at the other end and Mattia hit the post with a well-timed header: 8T were on the rack!
But then a silly mistake in defense gifted a throw in to 8T and Marco T put the 8th graders ahead.
Jakob and Francesco combined well early in the second half and, when Francesco scored, it seemed that the 6th graders might crumble. But that would have been to reckon without Player of the Match Allegra. With spirit, determination and energy, Allegra fought for every ball, brought her team mates into the game and then scored another goal to leave the outcome in the balance until the last second.
