Argentina and New Zealand had a heated match that almost matched the temperature on Monday afternoon. Argentina was on the attack right away and in the 10th minute, Captain Victoria Zuloaga scored on a penalty corner. After some great saves by the New Zealand goalkeeper, Argentina got through again when Luciana Soracco scored a field goal. New Zealand retaliated four minutes later when Katie Glynn scored on a penalty corner. Before they had finished celebrating #8, Martina Cavallero had made it down the field and scored right through the goalie’s legs. In the second half both teams were back and forth, but New Zealand’s Katie Glynn scored their second goal with a beautiful tip off her stick into the net. Minutes later, Argentina’s Delfina Merino dribbled down the field and scored again. In the 53rd minute, Captain Victoria Zuloaga scored the final goal of the game off a penalty corner. It was a fast-paced match and New Zealand never made it easy for Argentina.
