With four members of the successful Ambrit Med Cup team on their side, Argentina were always going to be the favourites to win this tie - especially with Claudio absent for Romania - and they did. But it was Romania who took the lead. Currently leading the top-scorer charts, Lorenzo G punished Noel for a careless pass. But it didn't take long for Argentina to draw level. Jacopo played in his captain and Antoine - chasing Lorenzo for the Golden Boot - scored. Jacopo put Steve in just after that but Steve shot over. Steve scored with his next chance though, the assist provided this time by Antoine. A good header by Lorenzo G almost made it 2-2 but Argentina led at the break. In the second half, Sam continued to win a lot of ball in midfield for the South Americans and Jacopo continued to torture the Romanians with his usual dribbling skills. Only Raul was able to stop him with any consistency. Jacopo passed to Steve and Steve grabbed his second of the game. Giovanni set up Steve too but his shot this time rattled back off the bar! Antoine followed up by hitting the post when he should have scored and Jacopo himself scored the fourth. Lorenzo G finished neatly into the bottom corner for a goal that was a consolation to his team but another important one for his personal tally.
