Belgium 3-1 Italy

Two of Europe's top teams kicked off the Spring Intramural with an evenly-contested match at Ambrit Stadium. An early Italy attack put Carolina through with one defender and the goalkeeper still to beat. She beat both of them with a good first touch and a calm finish into the corner.

Belgium woke up. Some neat midfield passing brought the ball to Adriano and, when he spotted Carlo in space, the seventh grade ace scored to make it 1-1. Carlo was playing further forward today and his decision was rewarded when he pounced on a loose ball to release another shot past Myla in goal: 2-1 at half-time.

Belgium continued to press. Alberto shot over the bar and then under, but Myla was there with a great block and she repeated the feat twice more before the game ended. Sofia was having an excellent game in defence too, though she did almost score an own goal and was relieved when the ball struck the bar.  Carlo almost scored a third but Myla saved and then Captain Bertie did score when his shot took a big deflection.

BEST PLAYER POINTS: Carlo 6, Alberto 4, Myla 3, Athena 3, Carolina 3, Bertie 2, Sofia 1, Rocco 1, Leo 1, Giorgio 1, Isabel 1 , Adriano C 1, Maya 1
