One of the classic series in world football produced another fascinating episode today at Ambrit Stadium. Italy's players were focused from the start while Argentina struggled to accustom themselves to the three-touch rule. An Italian cross into the box was blocked by an injudiciously raised arm and referee Corcoran pointed to the spot. Megan slammed the ball home confidently from the spot. Buoyed by the breakthrough, Italy poured forward and a slick move down the left saw Angela passing to Livia to shoot home a second goal! In the second half, Argentina slowly got to grips with the situation and their tackling and passing vastly improved. But Italy almost went 3-0 up when Livia fired in another great shot that Giovanni V barely managed to deflect onto the crossbar and out! But Argentina took over possession now and the shots rained in. Giovanni M shot wide; Jacopo shot wide; Steve scored... 2-1. Jacopo shot wide; Jacopo's shot was saved by Aurora... and again! And Antoine scored... 2-2. And Antoine scored again... 3-2. Livia almost equalised towards the end but Mostafa sealed the win with a fourth.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Livia 4, Erin 3, Aurora 3, Jacopo 3, Megan 2, Giovanni M 1, Steve 1, Zoe 1, Caterina 1, Angela 1, Antoine 1
