BOYS FINAL: Chile 4-8 Australia
A high-scoring final was dominated by the Aussies and Mediterranean Cup top-scorer, Filippo C, nabbed five goals to take the top scorer's trophy yet again.
In the first half, despite some excellent defending by Filippo T, Filippo C scored a quick hat-trick. Mattia replied with a cracking shot from outside the area but Giovanni added a fourth before half time.
Australia's superior passing and good defending from Matteo, Tommaso and Alex K, and from Octavio in goal, kept them in front in the second half and Ale dF's late arrival gave them more options going forward. Filippo C made it 5-1 before Chile tried to come back into the game. Mattia added another and Alessio was rewarded with a goal too and, at 5-3, there was a glimmer of hope for the South Americans. But it was extinguished quickly. Jacopo made it 6-3 and then 7-3; Mattia struck again to make it 7-4 but Filippo C had the last word with his best goal of the day: an unstoppable volley from the edge of the area.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Filippo C 9, Michael 5, Filippo T 2, Matteo 2, Mattia 2, Jacopo 1,

THIRD PLACE PLAY OFF: Spain 3-2 Netherlands
Filippo G scored three goals and could have bagged two more but for fine saves by Christian, but his hat-trick was enough to ensure that Jiaqi's team walked off with the bronze medals.
Filippo's second and third goals were sandwiched by one from Stuart and Luca dC made it 3-2 in the second half but Spain's dominance was never really in doubt.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Filippo G 6, Stuart 3, William 3, Luca dC 2, Joao 2, Jiaqi 2, Zahir 1, Cristian 1, Lorenzo 1

GIRLS' FINAL: Mexico - Croatia 0-0 (6-5 after penalties)
Che grande finale! Quante emozioni!
Ancora una volta i rigori a decidere l'assegnazione del trofeo finale, dopo un'appassionante partita con molte occasioni, ma con difese e portieri davvero attenti. Nel primo tempo domina la Croazia, a causa della pesantissima assenza per infortunio di Giulia - colpita a un occhio da una pallonata nei primi minuti - Poi nel secondo tempo crea di più il Messico - dopo l'ingresso di Giulia - ma Lucrezia fa buona guardia tra i pali e non concede nulla: arrivano i temuti calci di rigore. Le due squadre si rimpallano le segnature e gli errori, fino a quando il rigore di Sophie danza sulla linea di porta dopo aver colpito il palo, mentre Raffaella riesce a tirare bene l'ultimo e decisivo rigore che dà la vittoria al Messico.
Brave tutte!
PLAYER OF THE MATCH POINTS: coming soon!

Australia 4-1 Netherlands
Australia managed to stop Stuart from getting any shots on target, striking four times themselves past Ambrit's first-choice goalkeeper and winning the right to face Chile in Friday's final.
An early goal from Filippo C (contested by Cristian and by a rowdy section of the onlooking crowd) set the tone and put Netherlands on the back foot. Tough defending from Zahir and co. kept the score at 1-0 though until Giovanni found the net with a well-timed volley and sent the Aussies in 2-0 at half time. It might have been three had referee Corcoran given a penalty against Zahir for a rash challenge on Filippo in the area but Zahir got away with it (again!).
The Dutchmen pulled one back early in the second half through Lorenzo: just reward for a gritty performance. But stretching for an equaliser left them open at the back and Australia took advantage: first when Jacopo scored after a beautifully-timed run onto a Filippo pass; and again when Filippo scored after a beautifully-timed run onto a Matteo pass.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Tommaso V 3, Filippo C 3, Jacopo 3, Lorenzo 2, Cristian 1, Sebastian 1, Max 1, William 1, Tommaso R 1, Zahir 1, Alex dF 1, Stuart 1, Giovanni 1, Matteo 1

Boys Semi-Final: Chile 3-2 Spain
Mattia missed an early chance in a first half where scoring chances were rare. Chile slowly began to dominate and Umberto put his team 1-0 up after 6 minutes. Some of the more experienced players on the pitch then looked on as Artur made it 2-0 with a clinical finish. Joao came close to scoring shortly afterwards but it was Joshua who struck next: 3-0 at the interval. Game over?
No! Alex clawed one back early in the second half to open up the game. Filippo hit apost and then scored to make it 3-2 but it was all too late.
Chile into the final.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Mattia 4, Artur 3, Umberto 2, Jiaqi 2, Filippo T 2, Luca R 1, Andrew Cross 1, Riccardo 1, Alex V 1, Filippo G 1, Joshua K 1, Joshua C 1, Joao 1
