Germany 4-1 France

France went ahead in this match but sank deeper into trouble when the Germans came back and steamrolled to an easy win.
The opening goal came when Pietu hoisted a hopeful ball into the air and, when it came down, the bounce tricked Octavio and finished in the back of the net. But the Germans didn't panic.
With Filippo playing a holding role at the back, they built their attacks through Edo R and Francesco R and Edo made it 1-1. He almost made it 2-1 seconds later but hit the post instead. Luca R then did score... yes, you guessed it - with his head AGAIN!
Riccardo F and Alfonso tried valiantly to bring the game back to the Germans. Riccardo made a mazy run that took him into the box but Filippo C stopped him with a perfectly-timed tackle.
Ricky then stole a ball off Filippo C in midfield but was then tackled himself before he could get a shot in. Gabriele then shot over from a good position and Francesco R made it 3-1 before half time with a long-range effort past Francesco C in goal.
Nicholas R scored the fourth with a simple tap in in the second half.
