ANSPI: Ambrit Fears No-one!

Ambrit lined out against champions-elect, Santos, on Saturday and put up a fantastic display of heart, determination and football.

With only 5 players and no subs, Filippo and Alessandro played up front and they formed a great duo, scoring the first 2 goals within minutes from kick off. Filippo scored the first: he dribbled through the Santos defense with ease and shot into the corner. The second goal came when Alessandro launched a perfect throw-in to Filippo. The first period ended with Santos scoring a goal from a corner kick; 2-1 on the whistle.

 

Ambrit surpassed themselves this week with another fighting performance!

In the second period, Santos scored right after kickoff to make it 2-2. Ambrit's defense was determined not to let any more goals in; Elias and Ludovico pressed every player that came into their half and they gave no quarter. But Santos had fresh players o introduce and a goal soon looked inevitable. They scored two to make it 4-2.

But Ambrit heads did NOT drop. On the contrary, Elias moved up to play with Alessandro and, early in the third period, he received a pass from Filippo went on to dribble straight to the goal and score to make it 4-3. 

The non-stop cheering from the stands gave Ambrit a fresh boost of energy. With minutes left to play, Alessandro played another good throw-in to Filippo, who went on to score.... but the goal was disallowed!!! 

Eric’s pass to Filippo was our last chance to score and tie the match but a great Santos keeper saved it sending the ball out of bounds and the referee whistled the end of the match.

ANSPI: Ambrit 7- 5 Testaccio

Ambrit Complete Win Double Over Testaccio to State in Second Place!
Ambrit's ANSPI team continue to confound the doubters with yet another great win!

The Ambrit team today had only 6 players on the field and Testaccio kindly agreed to play 6 on 6. The game started fast and quick with Testaccio attacking constantly.  Alessandro's slide tackle earned Testaccio a free kick which opened at 1-0.

Ambrit was determined to score a goal too before the end of the first period. Fillipo from defense moved up to mid field to help Giacomo and Pietro scored to make it 1-1. The first period ended with both teams scoring just before the whistle. Great dribbling by Pietro and an accurate pass to Giacomo for the 2-2.

Alessandro, Ludovico, Giacomo, Pietro, Filippo, Eric 

The beginning of the second half saw Ambrit push for a 3rd goal and Pietro obliged when he took a pass from Fillipo. It wasn't long before yet another goal by Pietro: this time he received a throw in from Filippo and smashed home for 4-2! Great defence and some amazing saves from Eric ended the second period.

With no subs, Ambrit entered the 3rd period tired but ready to defend their lead. But a stubborn Testaccio managed to get 2 quick goals to make it 4-4 and set up a tense finish. Pietro came to the rescue again; he took another pass from Giacomo and, with no hesitation, drove the ball home for 5-4. Seeing an opportunity for another quick goal, Filippo moved forward to help Giacomo in attack and scored: 6-4.

Testaccio squeezed through the Ambrit defense and scored to make it 6-5 but a confident Alessandro from defense tackled a Testaccio player, won the ball and shot straight to goal from mid field for the 7-5.

Milan 7-2 Chievo

Milan's big win over Chievo sets up a tense finish to this year's Spring Intramural with 5 teams still battling it out for the four SF places.
An early goal by Lucrezia flattered to deceive. Nathan played Giuseppe through for an equaliser 4 minute later and Milan never looked back. Aden made a crucial save off an Annie shot; Nathan bagged a hat-trick to move to the top of the goalscoring charts.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Giuseppe 5, Lucrezia 4, Nathan 4, Mia 2, Gaia 2,  Peter 1, Raphael 1, Aden 1, Chiara 1,

Roma 2-1 Milan

With both sides down to 6 men, this was an open game with lots of space to be exploited.
Roma definitely crested more chances though and Aden, in goal for Milan, made some crucial saves - but not enough to earn his team a point.
The teams turned around still level but Roma banged in two second-half goals. The first from Taro was very cooly finished; the second from Niccolo' sealed the win.
Nathan grabbed a consolation goal near the end and might have dome more earlier, but Elias was in fine form and foiled him at every turn.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Elias 7, Aden 4, Taro 4, Niccolo' 3, Jacopo 2, Giuseppe 1

Napoli 3-0 Inter

With Falco and Edo P missing, Inter couldn't cope with Napoli's quick passing. It was a very competitive match, lots of hard tackling but, in the end, Napoli's extra players gave them the edge.
Julian was decisive. He opened the scoring in the first half when Anthony played him through with a perfectly-weighted pass from midfield. In the second half, he scored another and the third goal - an own-goal by Tristano - came off a Julian shot.
In between, Sam might have scored another in the first half when Julian passed to him in the area and Senai was unlucky with a header in the second half. Pietu was a rock in the Napoli defence and Alex and Ale N kept up a fast rhythm of play in midfield.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Senai 4, Ale N 3, Pietu 2, Alex D 2, Anthony 2, Filippo 2, Gabriele 2, Michele 2, Julian 2

Lazio 4-0 Chievo

With Lucrezia ruled out through injury, Chievo struggled to impose themselves in this game and Lazio cruised to their fourth consecutive victory.
Goals in the first half from Manfredi, Daniel and Lapo and another from Daniel in the second half; Thomas close to a fifth with an excellent header off a Lapo corner.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Manfredi 4, Daniel 3, Francesco 3, Gaia 2, Thomas 2, Mia, 2, Lea 2, Andrea 1, Alison 1, Chiara 1
