Following their traumatic defeat in Madrid on Tuesday, another heavy defeat in the league leaves Juve chained near the bottom of the table as we head into the Spring break. Guillermo was in fine form early on for Roma. He harried the defenders and forced two mistakes, one of which he put wide but the other he tucked into the back of the net.
He made it 2-0 soon after when Michele played him through with a perfect pass. Juve tried to reply. Pietro shot over and Gavin shot wide but it was Roma who continued to make the better chances.
Virginia made great saves from Michele and from Guillermo but Filippo flicked in a corner to make it 3-0.
Gavin tried hard and got some shots in but just of target. Mateo had a chance too but Michele made no mistake when he fired in the fourth. The icing on the cake was Saverio's fifth goal, a reward for some insistent play.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Michele 4, Guillermo 4, Filippo 3, Carlos 2, Gavyn 3, Francesco 1, Pietro 1, Saverio 1, Ewan 1, Mateo 1

u11 ANSPI: Ambrit 3-1 Vigna Pia
Ambrit's positive run of winning games continued at Ambrit Stadium tonight against derby rivals and second-place team, Vigna Pia Rossa.
Ambrit dominated the opening minutes and Alberto scored a goal to make sure that their positive start was rewarded. Adam, in goal for the first period, made a fantastic save to keep us ahead and Tiago made it 2-0 before the break off a great Vittorio assist. Tiago had a great game in this first period; his speed, aggression and determination kept the whole Vigna Pia defence occupied for large periods and opened up spaces for everyone else.
Dylan went into goal for the second period and immediately made a great save. The 'new' midfield of Jonah and Nicholas slotted in very well and both of them were all over the place, making excellent tackles. Anything that got through was ably dealt with by Carlo, Padro and Vittrio in defence, all of whom kept good positions and intercepted the opposing tackles with timely runs and decisive tackles.
Alberto first spurned a good chance to put the team 3-0 ahead but he made up for it later with a fine shot into the corner.
Ambrit kept the game under control in the third period. Jonah went into goal and made a good save when one-on-one against the opposing centre-forward and he could do nothing about the high lob that beat him later on.
AMBRIT: Adam, Carlo, Vittorio, Pedro, Dylan, Alberto, Cameron, Tiago, Bertie, Nicholas, Jonah

Milan 1-0 Inter
This derby was a scrappy affair. Given the amount of talent on the pitch, it was a poor game. The first real chance fell to Cristian after 9 minutes but his lob was high. Four minutes later, Alex D tried a long shot but Joel was alert. Daniel scored the only goal of the game, his fiercely-struck free-kick too hot for Cesare to handle.

Fiorentina 2-1 Juventus
Fiorentina collected their first points of the tournament today against a Juve side decimated by detentions, absence and bad management.
Michelle put the girls 1-0 up early on when sheet a Selina pass superbly with a perfectly-timed strike. Ale N (pardoned today by necessity but will skip next match) equalised with a long shot but Noor turned sharply on an Annie pass and stroked home the winner. Juve had one chance to equalise but Mari made a good save.

Chelsea 0-0 Man City
Having become accustomed of late to a high standard of play from the girls, a restless crowd today left Ambrit Stadium feeling unsatisfied after a mediocre game. Yes, there was a midfield battle but real chances were rare and, in all honesty, the goalkeepers were never troubled.

u13 ANSPI: Ambrit 6-2 Casaletto
Ambrit had a tough start in the first period but Taki was able to get a rebound ball and score his first goal of the season. Soon after, Casaletto scored their first goal as well. Zach managed to get us up by one again before the whistle.
The second period was even tougher as Casaletto pressured Ambrit into defending with not much luck on goals from both sides. Ambrit came back stronger in the 3rd period, gaining their third goal through an own goal off a corner kick. Casaletto responded with their second goal but Ambrit by then was unstoppable, scoring goal after goal. First Nikos, Tommy, and Nikos again ending the game 6-2.

In their weekly meeting today, the FIGC Disciplinary Committee noted that Ale N and Tommy C, having accumulated two yellow cards, will be suspended for 1 match each.
Roma 4-3 Lazio
Roma followed up their Champions League victory over Porto by narrowly edging out derby rivals Lazio in a game that swung continually from end to end.
It was Lazio though who went ahead when Giacomo struck an early goal with a left-footed snapshot. Miguel could have made it 2-0 immediately afterwards but he shot wide. Rome attacked next; Filippo played in Michele but he too shot wide. Roma's equalizer was supplied by Guillermo when he followed up a Filippo shot that was saved by Ale C.
But Lazio stole back the lead almost immediately. Riccardo laid the ball nicely back to Giacomo and he blasted the ball home again.
Now Roma started to take over in midfield though. Lorenzo played in Filippo whose shot was saved by Ale. Guillermo passed to Michele and his shot too was saved! But then Michele dribbled into the area, was fouled and tucked home the subsequent penalty: 2-2.
Action continued to swing back and forth. From a kick-out, Edoardo passed to Mikel who flicked the ball onto Riccardo and Captain Ricky blasted home. But Roma equalized again with the best goal of the game: Michele passed to Guillermo and he lifted the ball cunningly over the goalkeeper.
Filippo stole the three points near the end. Lorenzo found Michele on the right; his shot was saved by Ale, but Filippo turned in the rebound from an impossible angle.

u11 ANSPI: Casaletto 1-3 Ambrit
No flashes of brilliance on Saturday afternoon but another workmanlike performance sees Ambrit collect another three points as they continue to inch they way up the table to fourth place.
Two own-goals, both the result of a defence under pressure from Vittorio's accurate throw-ins, had the visitors comfortably ahead going into the second period and Vittorio added a third goal before long. The home side managed to pull one back before the second break.
Mr Corcoran threw the goalkeeper's shirt to Jonah for the last period and he didn't disappoint: in fact he thrilled the crowd with a rousing display as he made a series of fine saves to keep the scoreline at 3-1 right to the end!

RISA FOOTBALL - GIRLS - Second leg
Uno splendido sabato mattina ha accolto le sei squadre riunite all'Ambrit per la seconda giornata del campionato femminile RISA U-14. Le squadre A e B della Marymount (prima in classifica) e della St. George's (seconda in classifica) hanno fatto visita alle formazioni dell'Ambrit, stavolta suddivise in 8th graders e 6-7th graders. Vediamo in dettaglio come si è svolto il torneo...
GIRONE B
Ambrit B 2 - 0 Marymount B (Ameli-Mari)
Esordio "facile" per le giovani dell'Ambrit, contro una formazione piuttosto inesperta. Le nostre, pur mancando di precisione, riescono facilmente ad avere la meglio con due reti di Ameli e Mari, le più determinate. Ma il bottino sarebbe dovuto essere più grande...
Ambrit B 0 - 7 SGBIS A
Il secondo match è senza dubbio molto squilibrato, soprattutto per l'età e le dimensioni fisiche a confronto: le nostre ragazze infatti, pur lottando con le unghie e con i denti, debbono vedersela con delle avversarie giganti. Sarah, Flavia e Carol sfoderano una grandissima prestazione, andando più volte vicine al gol. Il punteggio tuttavia è severo e troppo pesante per quanto visto in campo.
SGBIS 7 - 0 Marymount B
Altra partita totalmente squilibrata, ma le ragazze SGBIS fanno paura...
GIRONE A
Ambrit A 4-0 SGBIS B (Malena x4)
All'esordio la squadra maggiore rimane sotto chock per l'infortunio al capitano Annie, costretta a lasciare il campo dopo un contatto con il portiere avversario. Le ragazze ci mettono un po' a ritrovare coraggio e determinazione, ma a un tratto si sblocca il bomber rivelazione di questo sabato, Malena, che segna ben 4 goal...
Marymount A 4 - 0 SGBIS B
Risultato specchio per la Marymount, che si sbarazza con facilità delle avversarie.
Ambrit A 1 - 0 Marymount A (Malena)
Una partita splendida, forse la migliore della giornata per le nostre ragazze, nel confronto decisivo per decidere la classifica del girone. L'Ambrit crea molte occasioni, non concede praticamente nulla alle avversarie, ma non riesce a buttarla dentro. Nell'ultima azione valida, Sofia con una rimessa laterale lancia Selina, la quale arriva in fondo al campo e mette al centro per l'accorrente Malena: 1-0!
SEMIFINALI
Ambrit A 3 - 0 Ambrit B (Selina, Malena x2)
Il destino pone davanti le due squadre Ambrit, che si giocano un posto in finale. Decimate dalle assenze per la lezione di matematica, le piccole soccombono di fronte alle grandi, trascinate - ancora una volta - da Selina, Malena e Noor. Selina porta in vantaggio la squadra A, poi è Malena a siglare una doppietta, arrivando a 7 reti giornaliere!
SGBIS A 4 - 1 Marymount A
L'altro posto in finale viene conquistato dalla SGBIS A, capace di impressionare tutti con 17 reti segnate e una sola subita...
FINALE
Ambrit A 2 -1 SGBIS A (Noor, Annie)
Per nulla intimorite dalla stazza delle avversarie, le nostre ragazze giocano una partita di intensità e determinazione, marcando strette le pericolose avversarie e concedendo pochissimo. L'Ambrit passa in vantaggio nei primi minuti con Noor, con un tiro potente all'angolo, poi domina e fallisce qualche buona occasione. Nel finale la SGBIS trova un po' di coraggio e costruisce un paio di buone occasioni, colpendo una traversa e trovando una Virginia - sino a quel momento praticamente inattiva - superba in tuffo su tiro dalla distanza. Il pareggio delle avversarie arriva su un piccolo pasticcio difensivo, un'incomprensione tra portiere e difesa, che vede il pallone entrare piano piano in porta. La SGBIS non ha nemmeno il tempo di esultare, che Annie - rientrata in campo a partita in corso dopo l'infortunio - prende palla e scende sulla sinistra, bucando il portiere sul palo opposto: 2-1 e vittoria finale!
Conclusioni
L'Ambrit quest'anno ha una squadra solida, determinata e generosa, che sta crescendo tecnicamente e mentalmente. L'assenza di Annie per gran parte del torneo ha dato modo al mister di capire che la squadra non si basa sul singolo, anche se Annie sa fare la differenza. Noor ha dato molto sul piano tecnico, Emma ha dominato la difesa, Michelle e Maisie si sono fatte trovare pronte dinnanzi ad avversarie pericolose e Sofia ha trovato un'ottima sinergia sulla fascia con Selina. Virginia in porta ha saputo mostrare il colpo da campionessa, ancor più difficile dopo una mattinata semi-rilassante. PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT: Selina, imprendibile sulla fascia, insuperabile nei contrasti. Gol, assist e tanta sostanza. La n.10 della SGBIS stanotte avrà gli incubi...

Inter 4-1 Napoli
Napoli had no answer to Inter today and the 4-1 scoreline was a fair reflection of the game.
Cristian scored a hat-trick: his first - a free-kick - took Louis by surprise and his third was a sweet strike straight from a corner that curled to the back post and in. Inter's second goal was a gem too: Alex played a long ball upfield to Dylan and his touch, control, movement and shot were all perfect.
Napoli had few chances: a shot from Anthony, a header from Andrea but nothing of any note until Anthony's last-minute consolation effort.

Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool
Una bella battaglia, senza lampi decisivi, con un giusto pareggio come risultato: questa in sostanza la cronaca della partita tra Arsenal e Liverpool.
Le ragazze capitanate da Maisie sono apparse più organizzate e determinate, con una buona gestione della palla e alcune occasioni non concretizzate, nonostante la squadra abbia occupato più o meno costantemente la metà campo avversaria con Noor, Sarah, Raffaella e Ameli. Tuttavia il Liverpool ha risposto palla su palla, con una buona tempistica difensiva di Emma e la costante e intelligente azione di Selina ed Eleonora. Ordinate e attente in difesa Gala e Allegra, oltre alla stessa Maisie.
Questo risultato rende ancor più incerta la corsa per la finale, con tre squadre - Chelsea, Liverpool e Arsenal - appaiate a 4 unti in classifica, con il solo Manchester City ancora a secco.

u11 ANSPI: Ambrit 3-2 San Leonardo
A tense and hard-fought match saw Ambrit coming out on top and means that they leap-frog their opponents into 5th place in the table.
Tiago pounced on a defensive mistake and blasted the ball high into the roof of the net for the only goal of the first period, fifteen minutes in which Ambrit were dominant and should probably have scored more than one goal.
Ambrit continued to play well in the second period, though the visitors were now showing signs of life. Alberto was particularly important in this part of the game, passing well and tackling back. It was Alberto who set Tiago up near the end of the period but Tiago's shot came back off the crossbar.
Still 1-0 going into the last 15 minutes but, 5' into the period, Vittorio rifled a brilliant shot into the bottom corner to give the team some breathing space and, when Alberto nipped in to make it 3-0, it looked like the three points were in the bag.
But then the comeback started: 3-1... then 3-2... and the team were looking rattled. Coach Corcoran called a time-out to settle the team and it was then that Pedro showed his maturity, his courage and his team spirit: "Mr Corcoran, I'll go in goal for the last few minutes".
And he did. And the team settled down. And the team won the game. Bravo Pedro!

Milan 3-0 Juventus
Juve's difficult moment continues. Missing Pietro N today and with a small squad, they never really threatened a well-organised Milan.
Sam's shot got past Sofia to make it 1-0. Carlos might have equalised soon after but he blasted the ball high over the bar from point-blank range, a miss equalled in its absurdity a few minutes later by Daniel at the other end. Joel meanwhile was rock solid and stopped two shots from Ale N and a third from Gavin. Alex P combined well with Daniel a few times but each of them put shots wide before Sam stepped up to make it 2-0 off a Daniel assist.
Tommaso sealed his place at the top of the scoring charts with he game's third goal.

Another convincing win from the 'aspiranti' this week. Nikos scored the only goal of the first period and Ambrit then turned on the turbo for period 2: Giacomo (2), Paul and Mateo contributed to a 5-0 lead with assists from Nikos for most of them.
Trigoria pulled one back early in period 3 but Ambrit added two goals late on.

Roma 3-0 Fiorentina
After losing 7-1 to Fiorentina on Wednesday evening, Roma got their act together today and won, though not as easily as the scoreline might suggest.
Having got to grips with the three-touch rule, Di Francesco's team began to create some chances - but not before Noor had almost put Fiorentina ahead. Only a good double save from Pietro kept the ball out of the net.
Roma finally broke the deadlock through Guillermo. His first shot was brilliantly saved by Virginia but Guillermo was quicker to the rebound and scored. Roma's other two goals were photocopies of the first. Good shot, brilliant save, rebound, goal... where were the defenders for the second ball??
Elsewhere, Michele smashed a ball off the crossbar and Virginia made lots of saves.

Roma finally broke the deadlock through Guillermo. His first shot was brilliantly saved by Virginia but Guillermo was quicker to the rebound and scored. Roma's other two goals were photocopies of the first. Good shot, brilliant save, rebound, goal... where were the defenders for the second ball??
Elsewhere, Michele smashed a ball off the crossbar and Virginia made lots of saves.
