Ireland 4-0 England

A clearly superior Irish team played a weakened England off the park in a highly entertaining game today.
None of the Irish players kept possession for too long, making the ball do the work and maximizing their one-man advantage. Emilio scored the first goal when he accelerated away from two defenders and slipped the ball into the corner of the net.
Joshua made it 2-o before half time.
England made a brief recovery after the break and might have cut the Irish lead but Ludo's shot came back off the post and English heads went down. Luca Cerri chipped a ball over the English defense and Emilio scored again to make it 3-0. Joshua got his second goal too when a neat turn left him with just the goalkeeper to beat.
Excellent performances by many of the Irish team, especially Leo and Andrea.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH: Andrea Ooi 6, Leo 5, Emilio 3, Joshua 2, Idriss 2, Ludo 1, Tim 1, Tommaso 1
