Netherlands 3-1 Belgium

 This Benelux derby was one of the best games of the year: exciting attacking movements, decisive defending and outstanding goalkeepers. Lorenzo was in fine form today and it was he who forced the first good save of the day, from Adriano. At the other end, Alberto tested Giovanni and then, as the play switched to and fro, Lorenzo shot just wide. Vittorio forced Adriano into another good save and thenBelgium took the lead when Carlo's shot was saved by Giovanni but turned in by Alberto on the rebound. It didn't take long for Netherlands to equalise: Ruben  pounced on some indecisive defending and rolled the ball past Adriano. 

In period 2, Vittorio forced his way past three opponents and fired a shot past Adriano to make it 2-1. Belgium then brought three saves out of Giovanni with shots in quick succession from Alby, Giorgio and then Alberto again. No goal though, and Lorenzo took advantage of the new spaces opening up to score again: 3-1. No more goals in period 3, with Gabriel making two fantastic saves from Antonio and Vittorio.

BEST PLAYER POINTS: Lorenzo 6, Vittorio 6, Giovanni 5, Gabriele 4, Adriano 2,Antonio 1, Leo 1,  Carlo 1, Rocco 1, Alberto 1
