Germany 1-2 Italy

 With a player sent off, Italy came from behind to record a historic win today in from of a partisan crowd at Ambrit Stadium. Germany took the lead when Federico clipped a smart shot in from the left. Freydis, who had another good game today, got her left glove to the ball but couldn't keep it out. Naila picked up her first yellow card for a cynical foul on Ashton and her second for another foul on the same player. Referee Corcoran was merciless and brandished a red card immediately. But Italy rallied and rallied well! Margherita latched onto a long ball and shot past Martti into the corner: 1-1. Then Italy broke out of defence again: Livia controlled the ball and played an accurate and decisive pass to Margherita; Margherita's first touch was good and set her up for another shot past Martti - this one even better and right into the corner!

BEST PLAYER POINTS: Federico 5, Freydis 5, Margherita 3, Aurora 2, Costanza 2, Lavinia 2, Ashton 1, Livia 1
