Teachers 3-2 Grade 7

 Another win for the teachers today but, again, they had to work for it! Grade 7 attacked from the start and Claudio hit the post with a shot from a narrow angle on the left. Matteo hit the bar just 1' later and the teachers looked to be struggling. Lorenzo had the next chance when he evaded Mr H to set up a one-on-one versus Mr Martin but then he dragged his shot wide! Just before half-time, the teachers looked like they had scored: Mr Gabriele scored but a VAR review and an honest admission from the scorer ruled out the goal for handball.Claudio tested Mr Martin again but the teachers did score before half time... Mr Gabriele again! 

G7 began the second half slowly and gave Mr Gabriele space to advance on the left. He got a fierce shot away: Martti made a great save but the ball fell to Mr Alessandro at the far post and he tapped in for 2-0. But now g7 started to dominate. With the 80 million Euro-man - Antonio - now in midfield, they moved the ball around very well and Claudio struck a typical low shot into the bottom corner to make it 2-1. As pressure continued, Mr Martin then made a fantastic double save from Claudio and Diego but then the teachers broke away and scored a third goal: Mr Gabriele again. The game's final drama was played out at  the other end. Ms Giulia was pulled up for a push on Diego in the penalty area and Diego himself stepped up to bury the ball past Mr Martin. G7 celebrations were brief though, brought to a halt by the final whistle.
