Fixture y Resultados

ARGENTINA 1 - HOLANDA 1 (penalty stroke competition 4-3)

Antoniska saved the sixteenth stroke of the competition, giving Argentina the well deserved title of World Champions.

07-12-2002 - SEMIFINALES: ARGENTINA 1 - AUSTRALIA 0

Australia will need to build on their performance tonight if they are to claim the bronze medal against the loser of the China v Netherlands game.

ARGENTINA 1 - RUSIA 0 - 4-12-2002

Field shot count:  ARG 12 RUS 5

Penalty corner count:  ARG 8 RUS 1

A dead rubber for both teams, and the game was played as such.

Argentina took minimal risks and ran out the game at 75% pace, whilst Russia looked tired after a tough two weeks of hockey.

Both teams created opportunities to score, although it was always Argentina who looked the more polished in front of goal, and Garcia scored her seventh goal for the tournament with 16 minutes on the clock.

Field shot count:  ARG 5 KOR 4

Penalty corner count:  ARG 4 KOR 7

In the match of the day, Argentina has survived an impressive performance by Korea to assure themselves of top place in Pool A.

This was Korea’s first loss of the tournament.

Argentine goalkeeper Mariela Antoniska played extremely well, saving 5 of Korea’s seven penalty corners and often kept Argentina in the game.

Agustino Garcia’s goal at the 17 minute mark was one of the best of the tournament, with a hard trap, sharp drag followed by a cracking reverse stick shot from the top of the circle.

Argentina’s second goal came after a period of midfield play from both teams, and changed the game into a more attacking nature.

In the latter stages of the second half, English umpire Dawn Henning cost Korea numerous chances of scoring with some dubious decisions.

Argentina play Russia tomorrow in a game that will not affect their Pool A ranking.  Korea should beat Scotland, and they will also hope that New Zealand defeats China so that they can finish second in Pool A, and progress to the semi-finals.

ARGENTINA 5 - ESCOCIA 0 (1-12-2002)

Field shot count:  ARG 14 ECO 4

Penalty corner count:  ARG 6 ECO 1

Argentina dominated the game from start to finish.

Whilst Scotland did their best to defend against the powerful Argentinean forward-line, they were outgunned by Argentina’s depth across the field.  

Argentine coach Sergio Vigil was able to rest his senior players throughout the match after they jumped to an early 3-0 lead after ten minutes.

Argentina meets Korea and Russia in their last two matches, and seem destined to be the top placed finisher in Pool A.   

Scotland play the same two teams in a different order.  They will still aim for one win from their next two matches, which may elevate them into a 9 to 12 playoff position.

ARGENTINA 2 - CHINA 0 (30-11-2002)

Field shot count:  ARG 11 CHN 1

Penalty corner count:  ARG 3 CHN 4

Argentina has confirmed themselves as favourites to finish at the top of Pool A after a solid 2-0 defeat of recent close rivals, China.

Avenging their loss on penalty strokes in the final of the 2002 Champions Trophy, Argentina reveled in the space given to them by the Chinese midfield in the first half. 

Augustina Garcia was scintillating in the first ten minutes of the match, scoring two opportunist goals within a five minute period.

China regrouped at half time, and evened up the match considerably, however they are struggling to create field goal shots against the better defences. 

China now face the very real possibility that they will not make the semi-finals, sitting one point behind Korea.  They play Ukraine in their next match, whilst Argentina should coast in against Scotland.

ARGENTINA 1 - ALEMANIA 0

Field shot count:  ARG 15 GER 7

Penalty corner count:  ARG 6 GER 1

The match of the day was an absolute cracker, with either team feeling that they could have won the match after a magnificent second half from both teams. 

It was a tentative start by both Germany and Argentina in the first half, with little risks in attack and the Germans carefully marking the influential Luciana Aymar. 

The second half saw a dramatic change in the game, with a more open attacking approach from both sides.  Each defence was required to make magnificent goal-line saves, much to the delight of the crowd.

After withstanding a German onslaught with 10 minutes to go, Argentina finally started to dominate the game, and they finally scored with five minutes to go.

A great match with fantastic shots at goal, and easily the match of the tournament to date.

On Friday, the Germans can be expected to beat Scotland so long as they take tonight’s form into that match.  Argentina face another tough match on Saturday when they meet China.

Congratulations to Nadine Ernsting-Krienke on play 250 games for Germany, and to Mercedes Margalot on her 100 games for Argentina.
