u13 ANSPI: Ambrit Beat League Leaders in Top of the Table Clash!

Having collected the Man of the Match award for Roma in the day's earlier Intramural match, Pietro dP went on tonight to inspire Ambrit to a fantastic 3-0 victory over San Girolamo at Ambrit Stadium and was Man of the Match again.
Going into the match, the visitors had taken a maximum 18 points from 6 games, with Ambrit in second place on 12 points from 5 games, but tonight's result throws the league wide open again!.
Ambrit's intentions were clear from the start. From the first whistle, our players were all over their opponents, pressing high and forcing errors and, once in possession, shooting on sight.
Mateo almost opened the scoring. He played a quick one-two with Taki but his shot flashed just wide. Next, on 13', Pietro played a delicious pass into Tommy's path on the right and Tommy hammered a ball past the despairing 'keeper who could only brush it with his fingers:1-0.
Pietro tried another shot immediately afterwards that just pinged over the bar and then Tommy whacked one that came back off the inside of the post when it really should have gone in!
The long-awaited second goal did come from Pietro just before the first interval when he banged in a rasping drive from 30m!!!
Ambrit came out for the second half knowing that they would have to fight to keep their lead and fight they did. The second period began at 2-0 and ended on the same scoreline. Eric made two good saves and Giorgio, Joel and Ludovico were fantastic at the back. Mateo nearly scored but his shot was cleared off the line and Tommy's follow-up was saved. Santiago, playing up front, put in a tremendous shift and played with great maturity, controlling the ball and looking to bring his midfielders into play with early passes.
In the third period, Cesare took over up front and kept the opposing defense busy. Pietro signed off with another goal, this one a well-judged high lob from the centre circle that crept in under the bar.
AMBRIT: Eric; Joel, Ludovico, Giorgio; Tommy, Pietro, Mateo; Taki, Santiago, Cesare
