A well-organised Fiorentina frustrated Napoli today and held on for a well-deserved point. Anthony managed to fire lots of shots but those on target were capably dealt with by Virginia while Annie bossed the midfield. The best chance of the game fell to Anthony after a neat one-two with Andrea but Virginia did enough to put him off. Fiorentina had a chance to steal all three points at the end when Louis handled outside the area but Annie's shot was blocked.

u11 ANSPI: Ambrit 3-3 Vigna Pia Bianca
A roller-coaster ride of a match at Ambrit Stadium tonight with two sides who punched and counter-punched right to the end.
Ambrit terrible in the first period; half-tackles, no communication, no determination, no control, no thought. Vigna Pia deservedly went in 1-0 up. Only Dylan played well in this first period.
A different Ambrit came out for the second period. Pedro was majestic on the left; Carlo was like a lion again in defence and Vittorio was, as usual, everywhere. Tiago and Bertie pressured the defence. For a while though, it seemed that Ambrit would not score. Three times Vittorio shot and there times the goalkeeper made great saves. Vittorio banged in some great corners too and Bertie and Tiago should really have scored. But Ambrit did finally equalise when Pedro followed up a loose ball and banged it in. Minutes later, Tiago took a quick throw to Vittorio and his shot from distance put Ambrit ahead at the second interval, thanks also to some great saves from Jonah.
The third period was a tricky one for Ambrit. Vigna Pia stepped up the pace, equalised and then went ahead as the Ambrit defence and midfield stood off and gave them too much time to shoot. The referee then awarded them a penalty but, luckily, it was kicked wide. Then a last supreme effort allowed Alberto to get forward and score the equaliser and Ambrit finished the game on a high, looking for a late winner.

Milan 2-0 Fiorentina
An enthralling game today between a disciplined and innovative Milan team and a hard-working Fiorentina. Milan dominated possession and created a lot of scoring chances. Tommy, current leader of the scoring charts, converted two of the chances but Virginia was superb in goal. She threw herself to the left, to the right, blocked high shots, blocked low shots and organised her defence. A masterful display of goalkeeping.

Ambrit Girls' Team at ROMA CUP
La squadre delle ragazze Ambrit ha partecipato al torneo ROMA CUP, dedicato a due delle vittime del terremoto di Amatrice, ottenendo un ottimo terzo posto tra i licei partecipanti. La competizione di calcio a 7 era strutturata con un girone all'italiana e poi le semifinali e la finale.
Benché i numeri fossero stretti (una sola riserva), l'Ambrit ha saputo combattere quasi ad armi pari, in alcuni casi dominando il gioco e vincendo, con squadre di ragazze più grandi fisicamente e tecnicamente. Vediamo la cronaca:
Ambrit - St. Stephen's B 1-0 (Annie)
L'esordio è praticamente perfetto, nonostante il brivido del ritardo di Virginia, che costringe l'Ambrit a schierare tra i pali la piccola Flavia. Passano due minuti e già le nostre ragazze vanno in vantaggio: fallo laterale di Annie per Noor, che restituisce il pallone indietro, lob delizioso del capitano e palla che scavalca il portiere e finisce in rete. La reazione del SSS non impensierisce la difesa, sempre molto attenta, con Malena praticamente dappertutto, con fisico e cuore. Annie avrebbe anche il pallone del raddoppio, ma finisce per incespicare sulla palla a pochi centimetri dalla linea di porta.
Ambrit - St. Stephen's A 0-4
Nella seconda partita l'Ambrit perde un po' il filo del gioco, troppo lasciato alle avversarie, che gestiscono palla e saltano facilmente il difensore. Il risultato non è importante, ma non è mai in discussione e il mister non se la prende più di tanto, perché la semifinale sembra già assicurata.
Da sottolineare la prova maiuscola di Virginia in porta, che respinge almeno altri 4-5 tiri uno contro uno con le attaccanti. Poco fortunate invece le folate offensive dell'Ambrit, che colpisce un palo con Annie.
Ambrit - St. George's 0-0
La terza partita del girone è contro una squadra tosta (che non a caso vincerà il torneo), eppure l'Ambrit gioca con attenzione e spirito combattivo, non concedendo nulla alle avversarie e mantenendo la porta inviolata. Poche le occasioni da rete, ben neutralizzate dal portiere (lo stesso che ha partecipato al torneo del Middle School? mmm....).
L'Ambrit, con 4 punti, si qualifica per la semifinale.
SF: Ambrit - St- George's 0-1
Di nuovo di fronte, Ambrit e St. George's lottano a viso aperto per un posto in finale. L'Ambrit è ben chiusa dietro, ma le avversarie premono e - su un bel triangolo che taglia fuori la nostra Selina - vanno in rete con un bolide sotto la traversa, che Virginia può solo toccare. Le nostre ragazze sono stanche e non riescono a reagire: si devono accontentare della finale per il terzo posto.
FINALE 3° POSTO: Ambrit - St. Stephen's B 1-0 (Noor)
Nella finale per il terzo posto l'Ambrit ritrova la formazione B del liceo St. Stephen's. Nonostante la fatica accumulata, l'Ambrit gioca bene e trova la vittoria con una bella azione di Annie sulla sinistra, un diagonale sul palo opposto che il portiere non trattiene e la palla viene spinta in rete da Noor. La difesa non soffre mai, e il punteggio rimane stabile fino alla fine dell'incontro.
Ottima prova di squadra per le ragazze che presto saranno impegnate nella Mediterranean Cup: Virginia una sicurezza, Emma determinata in difesa, Michelle e Vanessa abbastanza reattive quando chiamate in causa, Malena instancabile motorino tra difesa e centrocampo, Annie determinante in fase realizzativa. Noor e Selina, già solide e tecniche, possono ancora crescere nel modo di affrontare la partita e di essere determinanti per la squadra.

Casaletto 2-5 Ambrit
Ambrit faced Casaletto with great confidence and secured 2 goals in the first period. Mateo scored the first with a header from a throw in, followed by Nikos with a great shot to the left corner. The second period saw Nikos and Mateo put in 2 more goals, leaving Casaletto frustrated, but the home team got their chance in the third period and pulled two goals back. Eric, playing in attack scored the final goal!

Lazio 2-1 Inter
With a full squad today, Lazio showed what might have been as they turned over an Inter team that has been winning recently.
Early exchanges produced no goals and Ricky's header was probably the best chance but it was well saved by Virginia, guesting in goal.
Virginia could do nothing about Jacopo's opener though when he followed up on a rebound to slot it into the bottom corner.
Lazio celebrations were short-lived: Inter equalised immediately from the kick-off when Paul bundled in Cristian's long ball.
The game's winner was struck by Mikel and Inter's search for an equaliser ran out of time.

Arsenal 1-1 Manchester City
Ancora una volta sfortunate le ragazze di Pep Guardiola, vittime di un banale errore quando la partita era saldamente in mano. Infatti il City, alla ricerca della prima vittoria stagionale, si è trovata di fronte un Arsenal dimezzato dalle assenze e dagli infortuni. Gea e compagne hanno iniziato a martellare le avversarie, usando il fisico e l'entusiasmo e trovando la rete con un ottimo tiro di Gaia, su servizio dalla bandierina. Nel secondo tempo l'ingresso di Alice e Raffaella nell'Arsenal ha dato una nuova spinta, ma difficilmente le Gunners avrebbero trovato il gol del pareggio se non fosse arrivato il regalo di un difensore - non meglio identificato - che ha preso la palla con le mani: rigore!
Noor dal dischetto ha mantenuto la calma e ha piazzato il tiro. Un punto ciascuno, ma... quanti rimpianti per il City, definitivamente estromesso dalla corsa alla finale.

u11 ANSPI: CRIS 5-1 Ambrit
With some key players missing and with no substitutes to call on, Ambrit were overwhelmed by the home side in Saturday's encounter against CRIS, who have now won all 13 matches played so far this season.
Down 3-0 at the first interval and 5-0 at the second interval, Ambrit's team was still capable of digging deep and finding the reserves and the will to 'win' the last period 1-0 with a goal from Pedro. Bravi!

u13 ANSPI: Real Muratella 5-6 Ambrit
In an exciting match tonight Ambrit went ahead early, found themselves pulled back to level scores near the end and were rescued in the last minute by Taki!
In the first period, goals were raining down. Pietro put Giacomo in for the first; Ludo put Tommy in for the second; Muratella pulled one back and then Giacomo made it 3-1. Giacomo went close with a header and then missed a chance in front of the goalkeeper before Pietro - today's Man of the Match by a country mile - put the team 4-1 up with Goal of the Month: a perfectly struck shot from 25 meters out that flew into the top corner!
In the second period, Muratella scored earlier but then Tommy put Giacomo in for the fifth goal and it looked like the Ambrit boys were cruising again at 5-2. But that became 5-3 and the team was tired heading into period 3.
Muratella scored again to make it 5-4 and the team now looked nervous. Muratella continued to attack and, when the ball fell to their right-sided midfielder, he banged it home to make it 5-5 amid wild celebrations.
But Ambrit continued to attack and continued to believe they could win. Tommy won a corner and took it himself, a well-struck ball to the far post... and arriving like a speeding train at the far post was Taki, who made no mistake and bundled the ball over the line for a hard-fought victory!

Liverpool 1-0 Manchester City
La stagione del Manchester City continua ad essere un incubo: anche oggi, nonostante il diverso atteggiamento e la ritrovata presenza di Gaia, la squadra non ha saputo creare occasioni nitide da gol, anche per merito di un'attenta difesa delle Reds, coordinata da capitan Emma. Come se non bastasse, a pochi minuti dalla fine un tocco di mano ha costretto l'arbitro Corcoran - sempre molto vicino all'azione di gioco - a consultare la VAR e a concedere un penalty, trasformato da Selina.
Il Liverpool si porta così a una lunghezza in classifica dal Chelsea, ma con una partita in meno.

Roma 5-0 Juve
Following their traumatic defeat in Madrid on Tuesday, another heavy defeat in the league leaves Juve chained near the bottom of the table as we head into the Spring break. Guillermo was in fine form early on for Roma. He harried the defenders and forced two mistakes, one of which he put wide but the other he tucked into the back of the net.
He made it 2-0 soon after when Michele played him through with a perfect pass. Juve tried to reply. Pietro shot over and Gavin shot wide but it was Roma who continued to make the better chances.
Virginia made great saves from Michele and from Guillermo but Filippo flicked in a corner to make it 3-0.
Gavin tried hard and got some shots in but just of target. Mateo had a chance too but Michele made no mistake when he fired in the fourth. The icing on the cake was Saverio's fifth goal, a reward for some insistent play.

u11 ANSPI: Ambrit 3-1 Vigna Pia
Ambrit's positive run of winning games continued at Ambrit Stadium tonight against derby rivals and second-place team, Vigna Pia Rossa.
Ambrit dominated the opening minutes and Alberto scored a goal to make sure that their positive start was rewarded. Adam, in goal for the first period, made a fantastic save to keep us ahead and Tiago made it 2-0 before the break off a great Vittorio assist. Tiago had a great game in this first period; his speed, aggression and determination kept the whole Vigna Pia defence occupied for large periods and opened up spaces for everyone else.
Dylan went into goal for the second period and immediately made a great save. The 'new' midfield of Jonah and Nicholas slotted in very well and both of them were all over the place, making excellent tackles. Anything that got through was ably dealt with by Carlo, Padro and Vittrio in defence, all of whom kept good positions and intercepted the opposing tackles with timely runs and decisive tackles.
Alberto first spurned a good chance to put the team 3-0 ahead but he made up for it later with a fine shot into the corner.
Ambrit kept the game under control in the third period. Jonah went into goal and made a good save when one-on-one against the opposing centre-forward and he could do nothing about the high lob that beat him later on.

Milan 1-0 Inter
This derby was a scrappy affair. Given the amount of talent on the pitch, it was a poor game. The first real chance fell to Cristian after 9 minutes but his lob was high. Four minutes later, Alex D tried a long shot but Joel was alert. Daniel scored the only goal of the game, his fiercely-struck free-kick too hot for Cesare to handle.

Fiorentina collected their first points of the tournament today against a Juve side decimated by detentions, absence and bad management.
Michelle put the girls 1-0 up early on when sheet a Selina pass superbly with a perfectly-timed strike. Ale N (pardoned today by necessity but will skip next match) equalised with a long shot but Noor turned sharply on an Annie pass and stroked home the winner.

u13 ANSPI: Ambrit 6-2 Casaletto
Ambrit had a tough start in the first period but Taki was able to get a rebound ball and score his first goal of the season. Soon after, Casaletto scored their first goal as well. Zach managed to get us up by one again before the whistle.
The second period was even tougher as Casaletto pressured Ambrit into defending with not much luck on goals from both sides. Ambrit came back stronger in the 3rd period, gaining their third goal through an own goal off a corner kick. Casaletto responded with their second goal but Ambrit by then was unstoppable, scoring goal after goal. First Nikos, Tommy, and Nikos again ending the game 6-2.

Roma 4-3 Lazio
Roma followed up their Champions League victory over Porto by narrowly edging out derby rivals Lazio in a game that swung continually from end to end.
It was Lazio though who went ahead when Giacomo struck an early goal with a left-footed snapshot. Miguel could have made it 2-0 immediately afterwards but he shot wide. Rome attacked next; Filippo played in Michele but he too shot wide. Roma's equalizer was supplied by Guillermo when he followed up a Filippo shot that was saved by Ale C.
But Lazio stole back the lead almost immediately. Riccardo laid the ball nicely back to Giacomo and he blasted the ball home again.
Now Roma started to take over in midfield though. Lorenzo played in Filippo whose shot was saved by Ale. Guillermo passed to Michele and his shot too was saved! But then Michele dribbled into the area, was fouled and tucked home the subsequent penalty: 2-2.
Action continued to swing back and forth. From a kick-out, Edoardo passed to Mikel who flicked the ball onto Riccardo and Captain Ricky blasted home. But Roma equalized again with the best goal of the game: Michele passed to Guillermo and he lifted the ball cunningly over the goalkeeper.
Filippo stole the three points near the end. Lorenzo found Michele on the right; his shot was saved by Ale, but Filippo turned in the rebound from an impossible angle.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Guillermo 4, Edoardo 4 , Alessandro C 3, Michele 3, Lorenzo 3, Riccardo 1, Mikel 1, Giacomo 1, Filippo 1
It was Lazio though who went ahead when Giacomo struck an early goal with a left-footed snapshot. Miguel could have made it 2-0 immediately afterwards but he shot wide. Rome attacked next; Filippo played in Michele but he too shot wide. Roma's equalizer was supplied by Guillermo when he followed up a Filippo shot that was saved by Ale C.
But Lazio stole back the lead almost immediately. Riccardo laid the ball nicely back to Giacomo and he blasted the ball home again.

u11 ANSPI: Casaletto 1-3 Ambrit
No flashes of brilliance on Saturday afternoon but another workmanlike performance sees Ambrit collect another three points as they continue to inch they way up the table to fourth place.
Two own-goals, both the result of a defence under pressure from Vittorio's accurate throw-ins, had the visitors comfortably ahead going into the second period and Vittorio added a third goal before long. The home side managed to pull one back before the second break.
Mr Corcoran threw the goalkeeper's shirt to Jonah for the last period and he didn't disappoint: in fact he thrilled the crowd with a rousing display as he made a series of fine saves to keep the scoreline at 3-1 right to the end!

RISA FOOTBALL - GIRLS - Second leg
Uno splendido sabato mattina ha accolto le sei squadre riunite all'Ambrit per la seconda giornata del campionato femminile RISA U-14. Le squadre A e B della Marymount (prima in classifica) e della St. George's (seconda in classifica) hanno fatto visita alle formazioni dell'Ambrit, stavolta suddivise in 8th graders e 6-7th graders. Vediamo in dettaglio come si è svolto il torneo...
GIRONE B
Ambrit B 2 - 0 Marymount B (Ameli-Mari)
Esordio "facile" per le giovani dell'Ambrit, contro una formazione piuttosto inesperta. Le nostre, pur mancando di precisione, riescono facilmente ad avere la meglio con due reti di Ameli e Mari, le più determinate. Ma il bottino sarebbe dovuto essere più grande...
Ambrit B 0 - 7 SGBIS A
Il secondo match è senza dubbio molto squilibrato, soprattutto per l'età e le dimensioni fisiche a confronto: le nostre ragazze infatti, pur lottando con le unghie e con i denti, debbono vedersela con delle avversarie giganti. Sarah, Flavia e Carol sfoderano una grandissima prestazione, andando più volte vicine al gol. Il punteggio tuttavia è severo e troppo pesante per quanto visto in campo.
SGBIS 7 - 0 Marymount B
Altra partita totalmente squilibrata, ma le ragazze SGBIS fanno paura...
GIRONE A
Ambrit A 4-0 SGBIS B (Malena x4)
All'esordio la squadra maggiore rimane sotto chock per l'infortunio al capitano Annie, costretta a lasciare il campo dopo un contatto con il portiere avversario. Le ragazze ci mettono un po' a ritrovare coraggio e determinazione, ma a un tratto si sblocca il bomber rivelazione di questo sabato, Malena, che segna ben 4 goal...
Marymount A 4 - 0 SGBIS B
Risultato specchio per la Marymount, che si sbarazza con facilità delle avversarie.
Ambrit A 1 - 0 Marymount A (Malena)
Una partita splendida, forse la migliore della giornata per le nostre ragazze, nel confronto decisivo per decidere la classifica del girone. L'Ambrit crea molte occasioni, non concede praticamente nulla alle avversarie, ma non riesce a buttarla dentro. Nell'ultima azione valida, Sofia con una rimessa laterale lancia Selina, la quale arriva in fondo al campo e mette al centro per l'accorrente Malena: 1-0!
SEMIFINALI
Ambrit A 3 - 0 Ambrit B (Selina, Malena x2)
Il destino pone davanti le due squadre Ambrit, che si giocano un posto in finale. Decimate dalle assenze per la lezione di matematica, le piccole soccombono di fronte alle grandi, trascinate - ancora una volta - da Selina, Malena e Noor. Selina porta in vantaggio la squadra A, poi è Malena a siglare una doppietta, arrivando a 7 reti giornaliere!
SGBIS A 4 - 1 Marymount A
L'altro posto in finale viene conquistato dalla SGBIS A, capace di impressionare tutti con 17 reti segnate e una sola subita...
FINALE
Ambrit A 2 -1 SGBIS A (Noor, Annie)
Per nulla intimorite dalla stazza delle avversarie, le nostre ragazze giocano una partita di intensità e determinazione, marcando strette le pericolose avversarie e concedendo pochissimo. L'Ambrit passa in vantaggio nei primi minuti con Noor, con un tiro potente all'angolo, poi domina e fallisce qualche buona occasione. Nel finale la SGBIS trova un po' di coraggio e costruisce un paio di buone occasioni, colpendo una traversa e trovando una Virginia - sino a quel momento praticamente inattiva - superba in tuffo su tiro dalla distanza. Il pareggio delle avversarie arriva su un piccolo pasticcio difensivo, un'incomprensione tra portiere e difesa, che vede il pallone entrare piano piano in porta. La SGBIS non ha nemmeno il tempo di esultare, che Annie - rientrata in campo a partita in corso dopo l'infortunio - prende palla e scende sulla sinistra, bucando il portiere sul palo opposto: 2-1 e vittoria finale!
Conclusioni
L'Ambrit quest'anno ha una squadra solida, determinata e generosa, che sta crescendo tecnicamente e mentalmente. L'assenza di Annie per gran parte del torneo ha dato modo al mister di capire che la squadra non si basa sul singolo, anche se Annie sa fare la differenza. Noor ha dato molto sul piano tecnico, Emma ha dominato la difesa, Michelle e Maisie si sono fatte trovare pronte dinnanzi ad avversarie pericolose e Sofia ha trovato un'ottima sinergia sulla fascia con Selina. Virginia in porta ha saputo mostrare il colpo da campionessa, ancor più difficile dopo una mattinata semi-rilassante. PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT: Selina, imprendibile sulla fascia, insuperabile nei contrasti. Gol, assist e tanta sostanza. La n.10 della SGBIS stanotte avrà gli incubi...

8.2.19
Inter 4-1 Napoli
Napoli had no answer to Inter today and the 4-1 scoreline was a fair reflection of the game.
Cristian scored a hat-trick: his first - a free-kick - took Louis by surprise and his third was a sweet strike straight from a corner that curled to the back post and in. Inter's second goal was a gem too: Alex played a long ball upfield to Dylan and his touch, control, movement and shot were all perfect.
Napoli had few chances: a shot from Anthony, a header from Andrea but nothing of any note until Anthony's last-minute consolation effort.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Cristian 5, Alex D 4, Dylan 4, Paul 4, Anthony 2, Cesare 2

Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool
Una bella battaglia, senza lampi decisivi, con un giusto pareggio come risultato: questa in sostanza la cronaca della partita tra Arsenal e Liverpool.
Le ragazze capitanate da Maisie sono apparse più organizzate e determinate, con una buona gestione della palla e alcune occasioni non concretizzate, nonostante la squadra abbia occupato più o meno costantemente la metà campo avversaria con Noor, Sarah, Raffaella e Ameli. Tuttavia il Liverpool ha risposto palla su palla, con una buona tempistica difensiva di Emma e la costante e intelligente azione di Selina ed Eleonora. Ordinate e attente in difesa Gala e Allegra, oltre alla stessa Maisie.
Questo risultato rende ancor più incerta la corsa per la finale, con tre squadre - Chelsea, Liverpool e Arsenal - appaiate a 4 unti in classifica, con il solo Manchester City ancora a secco.

u11 ANSPI: Ambrit 3-2 San Leonardo
A tense and hard-fought match saw Ambrit coming out on top and means that they leap-frog their opponents into 5th place in the table.
Tiago pounced on a defensive mistake and blasted the ball high into the roof of the net for the only goal of the first period, fifteen minutes in which Ambrit were dominant and should probably have scored more than one goal.
Ambrit continued to play well in the second period, though the visitors were now showing signs of life. Alberto was particularly important in this part of the game, passing well and tackling back. It was Alberto who set Tiago up near the end of the period but Tiago's shot came back off the crossbar.
Still 1-0 going into the last 15 minutes but, 5' into the period, Vittorio rifled a brilliant shot into the bottom corner to give the team some breathing space and, when Alberto nipped in to make it 3-0, it looked like the three points were in the bag.
But then the comeback started: 3-1... then 3-2... and the team were looking rattled. Coach Corcoran called a time-out to settle the team and it was then that Pedro showed his maturity, his courage and his team spirit: "Mr Corcoran, I'll go in goal for the last few minutes".
And he did. And the team settled down. And the team won the game. Bravo Pedro!

Milan 3-0 Juventus
Juve's difficult moment continues. Missing Pietro N today and with a small squad, they never really threatened a well-organised Milan.
Sam's shot got past Sofia to make it 1-0. Carlos might have equalised soon after but he blasted the ball high over the bar from point-blank range, a miss equalled in its absurdity a few minutes later by Daniel at the other end. Joel meanwhile was rock solid and stopped two shots from Ale N and a third from Gavin. Alex P combined well with Daniel a few times but each of them put shots wide before Sam stepped up to make it 2-0 off a Daniel assist.
Tommaso sealed his place at the top of the scoring charts with he game's third goal.

Another convincing win from the 'aspiranti' this week. Nikos scored the only goal of the first period and Ambrit then turned on the turbo for period 2: Giacomo (2), Paul and Mateo contributed to a 5-0 lead with assists from Nikos for most of them.
Trigoria pulled one back early in period 3 but Ambrit added two goals late on.

Roma 3-0 Fiorentina
After losing 7-1 to Fiorentina on Wednesday evening, Roma got their act together today and won, though not as easily as the scoreline might suggest.
Having got to grips with the three-touch rule, Di Francesco's team began to create some chances - but not before Noor had almost put Fiorentina ahead. Only a good double save from Pietro kept the ball out of the net.
Roma finally broke the deadlock through Guillermo. His first shot was brilliantly saved by Virginia but Guillermo was quicker to the rebound and scored. Roma's other two goals were photocopies of the first. Good shot, brilliant save, rebound, goal... where were the defenders for the second ball??
Elsewhere, Michele smashed a ball off the crossbar and Virginia made lots of saves.

Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool
Esordio amaro per il Liverpool, sconfitto 2-1 dal forte (e favorito) Chelsea. Le ragazze guidate da Emma sono apparse ancora in una fase organizzativa precaria, troppo timide e troppo sulla difensiva. D'altro canto il Chelsea non ha brillato, ma ha provato ad attaccare con maggior convinzione, passando in vantaggio con Millie, caparbia e furba nell'approfittare di un'incertezza difensiva delle Reds. Determinante il contributo di Annie, che ha bloccato molte azioni a centrocampo e - soprattutto - ha raddoppiato con un'azione personale sulla fascia destra conclusa con un gran tiro.
Solo allora il Liverpool ha iniziato a reagire, grazie anche all'ingresso di Carol, riuscendo ad accorciare le distanze con Eleonora, brava a ribattere a rete dopo che la sua prima conclusione era stata respinta da Virginia.

u11 ANSPI: Ambrit 4-1 Testaccio
Ambrit collected a valuable three points tonight in a game that was marked by hail, rain and some excellent performances by the Ambrit players and, in particular, Carlo and Tiago.
An early goal helped to settle the team down and it was Dylan who popped up to finish a good Vittorio cross.
Ambrit continued to attack and Tiago was causing havoc with his speed, particularly down the right. Tiago had a good chance when, after taking a kick on the leg, the referee played advantage and Tiago beat another defender but was then smothered by the goalkeeper.
Another quick goal early in the second period, this time from Cameron. Dylan made it 3-0 but then, suddenly, Testaccio woke up. Now they were breaking quickly and Ambrit were slow to get back. Carlo made some fine saves but, before the second interval, Testaccio did make it 3-1.
The same pattern continued early in the second half but Carlo continued to save his team, this time as a defender. With a cool head and perfect timing, his tackles broke up Testaccio attacks time and time again.
Then, with just 5' left on the clock, some shrewd positioning and a cool head saw Adam win the ball in midfield, drift past a defender and cross the ball to Cameron for a very satisfying goal and a very satisfying end to a very wet evening!

Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City
L'Arsenal, pur con qualche patema di troppo, porta a casa i tre punti contro uno "spuntato" City: questo in sostanza il verdetto del campo nel match di oggi. Il Manchester ha potuto poco oggi, infatti, contro un Arsenal più organizzato e determinato: le ragazze guidate da Maisie hanno infatti cercato di gestire il pallone, di passare e costruire gioco, sia a destra con Sarah, sia a sinistra con Noor e Raffaella, tenendo sempre Ameli a fare da blocco, con Allegra e Gala in difesa. Il City, privo ancora della sua stella Gaia, ha dato tutto in campo, con una buona prestazione difensiva, ma non ha saputo costruire azioni pericolose dalle parti di Alice.
L'episodio che decide la gara è un'azione movimentata, in mischia, sulla quale si è avventata Noor - oggi decisamente la migliore in campo - concludendo a rete con il destro sul palo opposto.
Ora la strada verso la finale si fa davvero dura per le ragazze di Gea...

u13 ANSPI: Ambrit 5-2 Muratella
An excellent performance from an Ambrit team that was missing lots of players but still stamped their superiority on the game last night at Ambrit Stadium.
Bernardo started up front and put Ambrit 1-0 ahead when he pounced on a rebound from a Nikos shot. Muratella equalised seconds before the first interval from a free kick.
Cesare and Santiago came in for the second period; Muratella went 2-1 up but Ambrit fought back and Mateo, captain for the night, led by example when he banged in two quick goals to put Ambrit back in charge.
In the third period, with Mattia up front, Ambrit played some great football. Nikos in particular was passing and shooting with great confidence. His well-struck free kick was saved but he scored in the next move and Mateo sealed the win by completing his hat-trick.

Juve 1-0 Lazio
Lots of players were absent today and also absent was any sense of urgency in a match played at a pedestrian pace. Gavyn's goal was a well-placed cheeky lob from way out on the left touchline. Not long afterward, he cleared a shot off the line and Pietro N made a couple of good saves from Edo and Giacomo.

u11 ANSPI: Santos 5-4 Ambrit
Another fine display from Ambrit's u11s with lots of positives, just a few very destructive negatives and an agonising defeat that was hard to swallow for players, management and supporters.
The first period began well for Ambrit and early pressure was rewarded when Tiago found Cameron on the right and Cameron buried the ball in the back of the net.
But, with Ambrit playing just two at the back and three in midfield and with too many players watching the ball instead of their opponents' movements off the ball, Santos began to exploit the space on the wings and their No. 31 and No. 34 fired shot after shot on target. Adam made some good saves but the scoreboard then showed 1-1, 2-1 and 3-1 to Santos going into the first interval.
Ambrit lined out for the second period with a three-man defence and just two in midfield but they ended up dominating the play and pinning their opponents back for the entire 15'! Alberto, captain today in the absence of Vittorio (and what a captain's performance), slammed a great shot off the post and then Adam scored his first goal for Ambrit to make it 2-3. Ambrit poured forward and Alberto scored to make it 3-3!
In the third period, the pendulum swung again. Santos took over and fired in two goals. But Ambrit never gave up. Inspired by Alberto, a tireless Dylan made yet another a fantastic run down the left and his cross found Alberto who tucked it away again.
An equaliser was not to be but Ambrit can take lots of positives from today's game. Apart from Alberto, today's stand-out performance came from Adam. When he took over up front, his touch, control and link-up play were crucial. Pedro and Leo were outstanding in defence. Dylan and Cameron, as usual, provided the energy and thrust going forward. Jonah improves with every game and Tiago and Nicholas, our younger players, are learning fast.

But, with Ambrit playing just two at the back and three in midfield and with too many players watching the ball instead of their opponents' movements off the ball, Santos began to exploit the space on the wings and their No. 31 and No. 34 fired shot after shot on target. Adam made some good saves but the scoreboard then showed 1-1, 2-1 and 3-1 to Santos going into the first interval.
Ambrit lined out for the second period with a three-man defence and just two in midfield but they ended up dominating the play and pinning their opponents back for the entire 15'! Alberto, captain today in the absence of Vittorio (and what a captain's performance), slammed a great shot off the post and then Adam scored his first goal for Ambrit to make it 2-3. Ambrit poured forward and Alberto scored to make it 3-3!
In the third period, the pendulum swung again. Santos took over and fired in two goals. But Ambrit never gave up. Inspired by Alberto, a tireless Dylan made yet another a fantastic run down the left and his cross found Alberto who tucked it away again.
An equaliser was not to be but Ambrit can take lots of positives from today's game. Apart from Alberto, today's stand-out performance came from Adam. When he took over up front, his touch, control and link-up play were crucial. Pedro and Leo were outstanding in defence. Dylan and Cameron, as usual, provided the energy and thrust going forward. Jonah improves with every game and Tiago and Nicholas, our younger players, are learning fast.

Inter 2-0 Fiorentina
Two late goals gave the points to Inter and a two goal margin was probably not a fair reflection on how Fiorentina played today.
Early attempts from Inter were blocked by the defenders, saved by Yutong (subbing for an unavailable Virginia) or went wide as i nerazzurri got to grips with the three-touch rule and the two-player disadvantage.
Then, just as a bit of frustration was creeping in, Cristian opened the scoring with an unstoppable shot from an impossible angle.
The girls reacted and put together the best passing move of the game. From in front of the defence, Noor found Annie on the left and her pass put Selina in with just Cesare to beat but Cesare did enough to put it out for a corner.
Dylan whacked a fantastic shot with his left foot off the underside of the crossbar but then he scored the second goal shortly afterwards.

Liverpool 2-1 Manchester City
Il Liverpool fa la voce grossa e batte il City, primo ancora della sua stella Gaia, ferma ai box per infortunio. Le ragazze di Gea spingono col fisico, ma le REDS rispondono con la tecnica e passano subito nei primi minuti, con un tiro spiovente di Selina, che scavalca il portiere e s'insacca sul palo opposto. La reazione del City è veemente ma scomposta, la squadra preme ma l'azione non è organizzata. La situazione si sblocca quando l'arbitro fischia una punizione dalla distanza, che Sofia s'incarica di battere: il tiro rasoterra attraversa molte gambe e sbuca davanti all'incolpevole portiere, troppo tardi per essere fermato. L'1-1 sembra volgere la partita a vantaggio del Manchester, che si fa più coraggioso e sfiora il vantaggio, ma ancora una volta il Liverpool passa in vantaggio con Eleonora, che sola davanti al portiere non sbaglia. La partita è decisa, non resta che riorganizzare le truppe e concentrarsi sul prossimo incontro!

u13 ANSPI: Ambrit Beat League Leaders in Top of the Table Clash!
Having collected the Man of the Match award for Roma in the day's earlier Intramural match, Pietro dP went on tonight to inspire Ambrit to a fantastic 3-0 victory over San Girolamo at Ambrit Stadium and was Man of the Match again.
Going into the match, the visitors had taken a maximum 18 points from 6 games, with Ambrit in second place on 12 points from 5 games, but tonight's result throws the league wide open again!.
Ambrit's intentions were clear from the start. From the first whistle, our players were all over their opponents, pressing high and forcing errors and, once in possession, shooting on sight.
Mateo almost opened the scoring. He played a quick one-two with Taki but his shot flashed just wide. Next, on 13', Pietro played a delicious pass into Tommy's path on the right and Tommy hammered a ball past the despairing 'keeper who could only brush it with his fingers:1-0.
Pietro tried another shot immediately afterwards that just pinged over the bar and then Tommy whacked one that came back off the inside of the post when it really should have gone in!
The long-awaited second goal did come from Pietro just before the first interval when he banged in a rasping drive from 30m!!!
Ambrit came out for the second half knowing that they would have to fight to keep their lead and fight they did. The second period began at 2-0 and ended on the same scoreline. Eric made two good saves and Giorgio, Joel and Ludovico were fantastic at the back. Mateo nearly scored but his shot was cleared off the line and Tommy's follow-up was saved. Santiago, playing up front, put in a tremendous shift and played with great maturity, controlling the ball and looking to bring his midfielders into play with early passes.
In the third period, Cesare took over up front and kept the opposing defense busy. Pietro signed off with another goal, this one a well-judged high lob from the centre circle that crept in under the bar.
AMBRIT: Eric; Joel, Ludovico, Giorgio; Tommy, Pietro, Mateo; Taki, Santiago, Cesare

Roma 3-1 Napoli
When Roma spent E22 million for Di Penta, the newspapers were scandalised but today Michele paid back a large chunk of that fee with two early goals. The first was a peach; he came onto a loose ball wide on the right and cut it back past Louis into the only available space at the back post. The second he turned in from a Pietro cross and Pietro himself made it 3-0.
Though Valerio played well, Napoli were constantly stretched at the back and, coming forward, Anthony dribbled, passed and shot - but not always choosing which one was right at the right time.
Napoli did win a penalty when Saverio handled in the box and Anthony tucked it away but Roma defended well at the back and harried enough in midfield to kill off any Napoli initiatives.

u13 ANSPI: Real Guadalupe 5-12 Ambrit
After a difficult start, Ambrit ran out easy winners in Saturday's match at Empire.
In the first period, Ambrit fell behind 0-3 but, with assists from Giacomo and Tommy, Nikos brought the score back to 2-3 and Giacomo sent the teams in level at first break.
Ambrit, forced to change the entire team because of the number of players, pushed on in period 2 and goals from Paul, Zach, Mateo and Giorgio (2) left them comfortably in charge for period 3.
Guadalupe cored two early goals in period 3 but Paul (2) and Bernardo soon put distance between the teams again.

Lazio 2-2 Milan
A fast-paced match, heavily spiced with some edgy tackles and two yellow cards, warmed up the crowd today at a chilly Ambrit Stadium.
An early goal, cooly tucked away by captain Riccardo, put Lazio 1-0 ahead. E76 million-man Daniel played Tommy through for a chance to equalise shortly afterwards but Tommy's lame left-foot finish was collected by Giacomo.
Tommy and Jacopo tangled on the touchline and Jacopo's reaction earned the game's first yellow card but Tommy too was booked later on for a push.
Back in play, Mikel created a good chance for himself but his shot flashed wide but captain Ricky struck again from close range to make it 2-0.
But Milan reacted quickly this time. Sam took advantage of a mistake in defence to beat Giacomo at his near post: 2-1. Milan now dominated and played better football, Lazio reduced to hopeful long balls. Daniel set Tommy up for another one-on-one versus Giacomo; first it seemed like Giacomo had come out on top with a good save but Tommy pounced on the rebound to score a late equaliser.

Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea
Dopo il Calciomercato "col botto" ci si aspettava un Chelsea rombante, ma la prima uscita della squadra favorita del torneo femminile è un pareggio 0-0 con l'Arsenal, una compagine solida e agguerrita, specie in difesa. La partita ha offerto spunti interessanti, ma poche emozioni vicino alla porta: il Chelsea ha attaccato per gran parte della partita, mentre l'Arsenal si è ben difeso e ha provato qualche ripartenza. Aspettiamo le prossime partite per capire le reali forze in campo...

Juventus 1-2 Inter
Two of the strongest teams on paper but both were missing key players in today's opening fixture.
Inter's bargain buy, Dylan, opened the scoring on a break. He held off Gavin's challenge and slotted a well-placed shot past Elijah.
Alex played him in again shortly afterwards but this time Dylan shot wide.
Ale N tried a couple of shots from afar with his right foot but then, with his left, he cracked a ball back off the post: still a close game.
But then Dylan made it 2-0 with a photocopy of his first goal and Inter were in control.
Juve came back into the game though with a fine strike from Ale N (left foot again) and Juve should have stolen a point when the ball fell into the path of captain Carlos in the last seconds. But Carlos took a wild swing at the ball and squandered the chance to salvage a draw.
