Ireland 4-1 Germany

Ireland destroyed Germany today with an exhibition of free-flowing football that sent a clear message to all of their rivals.

Alex dF put the Germans into an early lead with a good goal on the turn but that was the high point of the match for the Germans. Jonathan almost equalised when Ale dB's excellent save from Joshua shot fell to him, but his shot hit the post.

Ireland dominated the second half. An impressive Luca Cerri made it 1-1 with an overhead kick and then Leo sent in Jonathan to make it 2-1. Joshua extended the lead and then struck again after an excellent solo run through the German defense.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH POINTS: Jon 7, Luca C 5, Joshua 4, Cesare 2, Andrea Ooi 1, Ale dB 1, Davide 1
