Relive Las Leonas’ objectives in opposition to the US (4-1)
The Lionesses thrashed the US 4-1 of their debut on the 2024 Olympic Video games. On this method, the Argentine ladies’s area hockey crew bought off to a superb begin in Paris and after the primary match they’re on the prime of Group B.
The objectives have been scored by Rocío Sánchez Moccia -one of the delegation’s standard-bearers-, Agustina Gorzelany, Julieta Jankunas and Zoe Díaz. The partial low cost (2-1) for the rival crew generated some suspense within the end result and was the work of Ashley Sessa.
Though Fernando Ferrara’s crew had no main issues in reaching victory, they skilled a curious factor within the final quarter: they have been left with three fewer gamers. In any case, and regardless of being clearly outnumbered, they have been nearer to fifth place than the US was within the second.
The subsequent match for Las Leonas can be on Monday at 12:30 in opposition to South Africa, who is not going to have their first match in opposition to Australia tomorrow (Group B is accomplished by Nice Britain and Spain). The competitors consists of two teams of six international locations, 4 of which can qualify for the quarter-finals.
The Argentine crew’s nice dream was set in movement on the legendary Yves-du-Manoir Olympic stadium. Its favouritism is because of its 5 podium finishes within the final six competitions: silver in Sydney 2000, London 2012 and Tokyo 2020, and bronze in Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008.
