CURRENT STANDINGS

 With over half of the games played, both leagues are delicately poised.

In the boys’ competition, Napoli can make sure of a semi-final place by taking just one more point against Juve or Lazio.

Inter must still face both Milan and Juve while the loser of next Wednesday’s Roma-Lazio derby will be eliminated while the winner will have renewed hope of a semi-final place.

Milan 1-1 Napoli

Under siege for most of the match, Napoli stole a point today when Anthony equalised Ale's earlier goal.
Shots from Matteo and Michele went wide and Louis kept out later attempts from Ale and Edo before Ale finally smashed home an unstoppable drive.
Apart from some isolated runs from Tommy and Anthony, Napoli looked unlikely to score and so Anthony's later equaliser was an unlikely boon.
Both teams missed good opportunities from free-kicks late on and Ale picked up a second yellow card that will rule him out of Milan's vital derby match on Nov 28th.

RISA League - Girls

Le ragazze dell'Ambrit, all'esordio stagionale della RISA League, rispondono presente e, con due vittorie un pareggio e una sconfitta, si piazzano al terzo posto dopo la prima giornata. Le importanti assenze di Virginia, Emma e Mari hanno permesso ad altre ragazze di mettersi in luce, ma confidiamo in una bella battaglia nelle prossime sfide (RISA League, 19 Gennaio), quando la squadra sarà al completo.
Vediamo più in dettaglio com'è andato lo splendido sabato di gioco:

Ambrit 5-0 SGBIS B
L'esordio dell'Ambrit è facile, ma le nostre ragazze sono concentrate e determinate: trascinata da Noor (autrice di una tripletta), l'Ambrit ottiene un successo netto, con reti aggiuntive di Selina, ben servita su angolo da Annie, e Naomi.

Ambrit 2-0 AOSR
Il secondo match è decisamente più ostico, con le avversarie ben schierate e pericolose in contropiede. L'Ambrit domina, ma non riesce a trovare la rete, complice anche una marcatura stretta su Noor e il crescente nervosismo sfocia in errori banali. Finalmente Annie trova la rete del vantaggio e la squadra prende coraggio, fino al raddoppio della stessa Annie, che conclude la partita.

Ambrit 1-1 Marymount
L'Ambrit si confronta con le vincitrici del torneo, nella partita più dura della giornata e compie un capolavoro: la squadra è compatta, aggressiva, determinata a dare battaglia su ogni pallone. Le avversarie non si avvicinano alla nostra area e sono frustrate, mentre Annie, Selina e Michelle vanno in pressing a tutto campo, consentendo a Noor di provare le sue giocate. Proprio in una di queste ripartenze Noor prende palla sulla trequarti, si gira e colpisce con una parabola discendente che s'infila alle spalle del portiere: 1-0. La partita sale di ritmo, Noor prova un paio di volte a impensierire le avversarie, ma quasi allo scadere l'arbitro fischia un fallo di mano a Selina (una decisione che farà discutere): il tiro è chirurgico e la Marymount pareggia in maniera insperata.

Ambrit 0-3 SGBIS A
All'ultima partita l'Ambrit si presenta un po' demoralizzata, ma entra in campo lo stesso con determinazione, contro una squadra - diciamolo pure - di liceali. Pur dominando il match, l'Ambrit non riesce a sbloccarlo e subisce una rete in contropiede. A quel punto il Mister decide di far giocare tutte le ragazze, senza badare al risultato, che viene "arrotondato" nel finale, dopo una traversa clamorosa di Noor.

Molte le note positive da segnalare: la crescita di Selina, Michelle e Malena; i movimenti e l'intelligenza di Noor; il gioco a tutto campo di Annie; l'entusiasmo delle nuove arrivate; la grinta delle 7th graders.

Inter 2-0 Roma

A poor-quality match today was decided by two moments of magic from Jacopo.
His first goal, direct from a corner, took Marco by surprise. His second came when he drifted past three defenders into the left side of the penalty area and slotted the ball home into the opposite corner.
Elsewhere, Gavyn played well in defence and the two goalkeepers were solid. Other huffed and puffed but blew down no houses.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Jacopo 5, Gavyn 5, Dylan 3, Cristian 2, Augusto 1, Elias F 1, Lorenzo 1, Marco 1, Pietro N 1, Filippo 1

Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal

Un match vibrante, un'autentica battaglia quella vista oggi sul campo dell'Ambrit, tra due squadre molto ben organizzate e decise, tra le due formazioni - forse - più accreditate per la finale del torneo.
E' l'Arsenal a costruire gioco nella prima fase della partita, con Mari e Clio schierate a centrocampo; la partita tuttavia sembra non sbloccarsi, fino a quando Chanel fa partire un sinistro improvviso che coglie impreparato il portiere avversario. Il Chelsea reagisce, ma l'Arsenal, con mossa a sorpresa, schiera Mari tra i pali e Virginia davanti alla difesa. La mossa funziona bene, ma l'arbitro fischia una punizione per il Chelsea dal limite per fallo di mano: Selina finta il tiro e appoggia a Gaia, che lascia partire un tiro teso alla sinistra del portiere. E' 1-1. Virginia torna tra i pali, decisa forse a difendere il pareggio, ma a pochi minuti dalla fine Michelle raccoglie un passaggio verticale e lascia partire un tiro angolato e preciso, che regala la vittoria alle ragazze di Sarri.
Forse un po' tardivo l'ingresso di Alice e Carol nel Chelsea, molto bene Chanel, Gaia e Selina dai due lati.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH POINTS:
Chanel 4, Gaia 4, Selina 3, Mari 2, Lucy 2, Virginia 2, Maisie 2, Michelle 1, Eleonora 1

ANSPI u11: Ambrit 1-1 Casaletto

An exciting game tonight at Ambrit Stadium saw the teams sharing the points after an intense game played in the right spirit and at a fast pace.
Ambrit took the lead in the first period but, with play moving quickly from end-to-end, Casaletto managed to pull level later on.
Despite numerous chances at both ends (Ambrit hit the post twice!), no more goals were scored; both goalkeepers making some fine saves. Ambrit did have the ball in the net in the third period but the referee's whistle had already stopped play for a push on a defender.
AMBRIT: Adam; Vittorio, Carlo, Jonah, Cosimo; Dylan, Cameron, Alberto, Pedro; Bertie

Juve 7-1 Lazio

Juventus crushed Lazio in today's match, with Juan Carlos posting a hat-trick and Julian a 'doppietta'.
JC knocked in the first goal early on and slid in a second 4 minutes later from the left.
Both Andrea and Julian had chances to score before they actually got onto the scoresheet and a demoralised Lazio were pinned back in defence, except for a rare foray up front that opened up a chance for Paul but the goalkeeper recovered well.
Daniel was a magnet for the ball in midfield and his passing was excellent, though not always early enough. Andrea scored the third, Julian the fourth and fifth, JC the sixth and Daniel the seventh.
Lazio's only reply was a late goal from Miguel.
Interviewed after the game, Daniel said: "yes, we brought in Julian to add some goals and he has certainly done that, but it's good to see Juan Carlos responding to the challenge too".
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Daniel 8, Andrea 4, Juan Carlos 2, Alex D 2, Alex PU 2, Ludo 1, Ricky 1, Michelangelo 1

Napoli 4-1 Inter

Napoli dominated their match today against an Inter who, without Elias in defence, looked vulnerable.
Jacopo started well though, striking the crossbar with a fantastic free kick. It was Napoli who scored first however, Anthony giving Cesare no chance. Anthony made it 2-0 with a well-struck left-footedshot low into the corner and Inter almost struck back when Jacopo found himself one-on-one against Massimo. Massimo made the first of many fantastic saves and Dylan was unable to tuck home the rebound.
At the other end, Anthony played Tommaso through for a third goal and then the captain almost scored his hat trick but, this time, his shot thundered back off the post.
The crowd went wild when Napoli scored their fourth and it was Manuel who applied the finishing touch. Inter saved some face with a last minute goal; again Massimo stopped Jacopo but now Dylan walloped it home.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Anthony 5, Massimo 4, Tommaso 3, Valerio 2,  Gavyn 2, Pietro dP 2, Jacopo 1,  Elijah 1,  Dylan 1

Manchester City 1-0 Liverpool

Un gol a freddo, nei primissimi minuti, consente al City di raccogliere il massimo bottino nella sfida contro il Liverpool, cui l'ingresso tardivo di Emma ha portato una sconfitta pesante e immeritata. La partita è stata piacevole e combattuta, soprattutto a centrocampo, dove i muscoli di capitan Annie di sono scontrati con la razionalità di Noor e la fisicità di Ameli, autrice della rete decisiva.
Il Liverpool ha tentato di recuperare lo svantaggio con una bella punizione di Annie, di poco alta, e con qualche folata offensiva di Linh e Gala, ma la difesa di Giorgia e Sofia è stata implacabile, tanto che Flavia tra i pali non ha dovuto sporcare i guantoni.
Il City guadagna i primi tre punti nel torneo, mentre per il Liverpool è notte fonda e ora la strada per il successo si fa davvero durissima.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH POINTS: 
Ameli 4, Noor 3, Giorgia 3,  Annie 3, Linh 3, Shosannah 2, Millie 2, SofiaDM 1, Gala 1.

Juve 1-1 Roma

The crowd was royally entertained today at Ambrit Stadium as Juve and Roma played out an end-to-end, nail biting encounter under a gentle October sun.
Roma's goal came early when Cristian fed Saverio on the right; Saverio controlled, took aim and fired past Massimo.
Filippo was everywhere in these early stages, prowling both sides of midfield in search of his next victim and, more often than not, he came away with the ball. Pietro was elegant in midfield and he should have made it 2-0 but he missed his shot when that ball came across his body in he penalty area. He had another chance soon after but Ludo stopped him; Ludo too was outstanding today.
Without Alex P, Daniel and Ottaviano had to shoulder the burden in Juve's midfield, though Andrea was to come into the game spectacularly later on. Meanwhile Elias and Lorenzo cleaned up everything at the back for Roma and i giallorossi should really have extended heir lead. They had lots of chances and Lorenzo's shot just wide was one of them
Then Daniel fired a cracker from the right side of the pitch. Marco threw himself at it and maybe brushed the ball with a finger, just enough to deflect it onto the post. But Roma didn't have time to recover as Andrea collected the ball on the left and fired a beautiful shot into the opposite top corner. Great goal, great game!
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Andrea 3, Daniel 3, Lorenzo 3, Ludovico 2, Filippo 2, Pietro 2, Elias 2, Saverio 1, Marco 1, Cristian 1, Juan Carlos 1,

Milan 0-0 Lazio

Lazio ground out a valuable point in a goal-less draw at Ambrit Stadium today.
The only early chance fell to Michele but Giacomo made a great save.
In the second half, Tommy should have made it 1-0 when he followed up Giacomo's save off Ale N's free kick but his shot was blocked.
The tone of the game changed when Ale N was booked for a foul on Guillermo (possible red card?) and Alex rattled the crossbar with the subsequent free kick. Ale CS had a chance to score too but Joel saved well.
Michele had another chance near the end but, once again x was equal to the challenge.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Alex D 4, Michele 4, Giacomo 3, Paul 2, Edoardo 2, Miguel 2, Guillermo, Ricky 1, Sam 1, Ale CS 1

Chelsea 3-1 Liverpool

Un altro match appassionante quello giocato oggi all'Ambrit arena, nel giorno d'esordio tra due delle squadre protagoniste del campionato femminile, Blues vs Reds. Una battaglia giocata molto sul fisico e, solo in parte, sull'organizzazione di squadra: in entrambi i frangenti ha avuto la meglio il Chelsea, compatto e aggressivo, con una Gaia straripante e onnipresente che, con una bella doppietta, ha deciso il match. Prestazione convincente anche quella di Selina, molto attiva in fase di contenimento e brava a disporre con ordine le proprie compagne. Sul versante Reds è mancata forse un pizzico di organizzazione e, dopo lo svantaggio su una sfortunata autorete di Emma, di convinzione. L'ingresso di Linh nel secondo tempo ha dato una scossa alla squadra, che aveva momentaneamente accorciato lo svantaggio con una rete di Annie. Molto attiva Gala, pur con ancora alcuni limiti tecnici. Ora capitan Annie dovrà ricompattare le compagne e caricarle per il prossimo impegno, per non rischiare di finire già fuori dalla zona di testa.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH POINTS: Gaia 7, Selina 4, Annie 3, Gala 3, Yutong 2, Linh 2.

Napoli 3-1 Roma

Weakened by the absence of Elias and Filippo, Roma were overpowered by a well-organised Napoli in today's match.
Early chances at either end were not converted -  - Lorenzo shot wide and Pietro hit the bar - and the first goal didn't come until the eleventh minute when Anthony finished off a sweeping move with an accurate left-foot shot past an unsighted Marco.
Tommaso should have made it 2-0 shortly afterwards but he missed the ball completely; he made up for it 2 minutes later with a fine individual goal but hen spoiled it later with a yellow card.
Pietro looked like he would make it 3-0 but Marco made a fantastic save. Marco made another great save immediately afterwards but he was powerless to stop Pietro.
A scoreline of 3-0 would have been unfair to Roma and, in fact, Cristian made it more respectable with a perfectly-struck free kick.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Anthony 4, Cristian 4, Lorenzo 3, Marco 3, Tommaso 2, Pietro dP 2, Saverio 1, Pietro N 1, Ewan 1

Shock Transfer News

In a shock move following their opening defeat, Juventus moved quickly to sign Julian from Maltese Champions, Valetta FC. Interviewed by SkyIntramural, Daniel Simunec - manager and chairman of Juve - "I felt we needed to strengthen the attack and we have the funds available so we are delighted that Julian has signed a two year contract".

Juve - Milan

Juve, weakened by the absence of ace defender Andrea, struggled to contain Juve in today's match at Ambrit Stadium.
There were not many chances early on and Ale N put Milan ahead when he broke from defence as Milan defended a corner. The Juve midfield and defence was AWOL and Ale powered through and gave Ludo no chance.
MatteoT should have made it 2-0 in a similar breakaway move 1 minute later but Ludo made a fantastic save. At the other end, Joel made two saves from Ottaviano and Sam sealed the win with a good shot from distance into the bottom corner.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Ale N 4, Mateo T 3, Daniel 3, Sam 3, Ottaviano 2, Edoardo 2, Ludovico 1, Joel 1, Alex P 1, Michele 1

Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City

The Girls' league got off to a flying start with one of the most exciting matches to be seen at Ambrit Stadium for quite some time.
Captain Virginia had her Arsenal team lined out and ready in a disciplined formation and, from the first whistle, the Gunners dominated possession. But Noor's Man City were well organised too; they defended well and broke quickly when possible, with Ameli a constant threat.
Mari was the Arsenal engine, constantly winning tackles in midfield and driving the team forward. Flavia, in the City goal, was kept busy and she made some great saves. Then Carole stepped up to take a free kick and she took it well but the ball thumped back off the crossbar. Two minutes later, Arsenal hit the bar twice more in quick succession but the game stayed scoreless.
More pressure from Arsenal then saw the ball fall to Clio outside the penalty area on the right. She struck the ball sweetly through a crowd of players and into the bottom corner: what a goal!
But the drama wasn't over. With only seconds remaining, an Arsenal defender handled the ball on the edge of the area. Nor placed the ball; Virginia placed her wall; Noor struck the ball sweetly and it flew towards the bottom corner of the goal... but Virginia flew too; with a perfectly judged dive, she pushed the ball wide of the post and secured the three points for Arsenal!
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Carole 4, Virginia 4, Mari 3, Noor 2, Clio 2, Sofia dM 2, Ameli 2, Flavia, Alice

Inter 2-1 Lazio

The new season kicked off with a match that was competitive but one that did not offer up a great spectacle to a packed Ambrit stadium.
Lazio's captain Alex had a great game though and it was he that scored the first goal of this year's intramural. Turning in from a tight position on the right, he fired past a surprised Cesare.
Ale CS was surprised in the other goal shortly afterwards when Gavin equalised with a long shot.
Guillermo now started to play well and he created a good chance for himself but Cesare made a great save. Lazio continued to apply pressure and Inter somehow escaped intact when first Alex and then Miguel hit the bar, with Cesare making another good save. Alex had the ball in the net on 15' but the referee had already blown a free kick when advantage might have been played.
Inter stole the points near the end; Jacopo got away on the right and fired a fierce shot from close range past Ale at the near post.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Alex 5, Gavyn 3, Paul 3, Guillermo 3, Mikel 2, Dylan 2, Jacopo 2, Cesare 1.

Teachers 4-0 8G

An imperious display from the teachers against a valiant but outclassed 8G finished in a landslide victory and restored the teachers to their rightful place after last year's debacle.
With an anxious Mourinho looking on from the sidelines, the Teachers were quick to make their physical advantage count but, allied to their aerial game, was some crisp passing to feet.
After a couple of fantastic saves from Virginia in goal, Mr Piccolo's cushioned header put them 1-0 up. Mr Paolo made it 2-0 when he followed up Mr Alessandro's attempt that crashed back off the bar.
It was Mr. Paolo who struck again to make it 3-0. There was no way back for 8G but they never stopped trying and they created some good chances, but Mr Martin was equal to all attempts.
Mr. Piccolo hammered the final nail into the coffin but there will be more games later this year and this 8th grade might yet have the last laugh.

HOMEROOM CHALLENGE - FINAL: 8G 3-0 7M

Missing top-scorer Totti, 7M played well but never really threatened the 8G goal. Protected by a solid defence of Selina, Maisie and Emma, the boys Antony, Daniel,  Lorenzo and Jacopo were free to play a mature brand of football based on good movement off the ball, patient build-up, early passing and accurate shooting. Antony opened up the 7M defence first for Lorenzo, then for Jacopo and finished off the scoring himself. A voice in the crowd was heard to murmur... "if Ambrit doesn't win the Med Cup this year, they never will". Indeed.
Congratulations to the Champions - we'll see them in action against the teachers next week.

7M 1-1 6D (5-2 after penalties)

Incredible! Against all the odds, G6 pulled off a memorable result against 7M but then crashed out on penalties. Alex PU put his team ahead and frantic play from 7M saw Cristian equalise but stout defending from 6D kept them at bay (bravo Alessandro in goal!!).

6D 2-1 6R

Goals from Alex and Raffaele put 6D through to SF versus G7!

6C 2-1 6R

6C pulled themselves together after yesterday's defeat and played themselves back into the reckoning with a hard-fought victory over 6R.
Chanel followed up long range effort and was first in to nudge the ball over the line to give 6C an early lead. 6R battled to get back into the game but Dylan battled too hard and received the season's first red card.
But 6R never lost hope and, when Edoardo conceded a free kick near the half-way line, Marco scored with a superb long-range effort to bring the teams level.
But 6R joy was short-lived: Pietro, hovering on the edge of the box, received the ball and slotted it past the keeper to give the three points to 6C.
Wednesday: 6R vs 6D

	Played	Points	GD
6D	1	3	+4
6C	2	3	-3
6R	1	0	-1

6D 4-0 6C

6D have one foot in the semi-final after a dominant display over 6D. Miguel was first on the scoreboard and Alex PU extinguished all hope of a 6C comeback with two goals midway through the game. Raffaello added the fourth.
6C have a chance to redeem themselves tomorrow against 6R.

6D	1	3	+4

7M 4-0 7L

An inquiry into the seventh grade split is underway today after 7M fielded a team packed with internationals and secured an uneasy win against 7L.
A first half goal from Guillermo, a doppietta from Mateo and a debut Ambrit goal from Valerio was more than enough to send 7M into a semi-final against the G6 Champions.

8G 3-0 8V

Two goals from Jacopo and a penalty from Lorenzo at the end were enough to ease 8G past a disorganised 8V and into the final.

8G 4-2 8T

A hotly-contested game was even for long periods but 8G stretched their necks at the end and bagged the three points.
One of many smooth combinations between Daniel and Jacopo saw Rossi open the scoring but Carlos's determination dragged his side level.
8G took the lead again when Daniel scored but, following a foul on Ale, Andrea scored from the free kick: 2-2.
Immediately afterwards, Andrea was caught in possession and 8G took the lead for the third time through Jacopo. This time there was no way back for 8T and Anthony made it 4-2.

A draw in tomorrow's match versus 8V will be enough to see 8G reach the final.

	Played	Points	GD
8G	1	3	+2
8V	1	1	0
8T	2	1	-2

8V 1-1 8T

The first match of the year and the first leg of a triangular G8 championship finished in a 1-1 draw, thanks to two classy goals and some outstanding goalkeeping.
Ale N put his side ahead after a strong run through midfield and a well-placed shot; Tommy C equalised with another burst of individual skill. Louis and Max, two of Ambrit's most experienced goalkeepers, made a series of saves to frustrate efforts from Alex, Andrea, Carlos, Filippo and Gavyn.
The girls on each side were most noticeable at the back, adding another layer of impenetrability to both defences.

BOYS FINAL: Belgium 3-2 Portugal

A packed Ambrit stadium witnessed a worthy final today as Belgium edged out Portugal in a 5-goal thriller.
Daniel scored early on for Belgium but it was Portugal who dominated the play. Ale cracked a fierce shot from the left but Louis met it with strong wrists and diverted the ball over for a corner. Next to test Louis was Giuseppe but, again, Louis was equal to the task.
Portugal continued to swarm forward and Ale should have scored with a header at the far post but the ball trickled wide. Louis made another save from Jacopo but then Jerry handled that ball in the area and Jacopo converted the penalty: 1-1.
Belgium were now forced to attack and Julian found himself with time, space and only the keeper to beat. But he delayed too long and the chance disappeared. At the other end, Jacopo had a good chance but, instead of shooting passing to Aden, he tried to beat the last defender and lost the ball.
The game then changed as Antony picked up a ball wide on the right. Just managing to keep it in, he beat two defenders and shot past Giacomo to make it 2-1 to Belgium.
Aden had a half-chance to equalise but Belgium pulled father ahead when Daniel scored the best goal of the game, finishing off a move involving Julian and Antony.
Desperate, Portugal came back again and Giuseppe played Jacopo in to make it 3-2. But Belgium held on to capture another prestigious trophy and can now head for Russia 2018 with confidence.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Louis 4, Jacopo 3, Antony 3, Daniel 3, Alex D 2, Elias F 2, Ale N 2, Aden 1, Giuseppe 1
