The Lions lost their second game against England

The Lions lost 3-1 to England in their third match of the 2024/2025 Pro League.

In the third game in the Santiago del Estero syntheticArgentina could not twist the story that was written at the beginning of the match and the three points went to the English.

The darkest beginning that The Lions could have imagined could hardly resemble what really happened: two goals against in the first three minutes of play. England got the first penalty corner of the game and Sam Ward (1′) converted it into a goal, something that was repeated a few seconds later, as if it were deja vu… penalty corner + Ward (2′) = English goal.

In the second quarter Argentina tried to wake upget rid of what happened and start from scratch to reverse history. The first corner in favor of the albicelestes became the responsibility and Tomas Domenethe man from Córdoba, who had been sharpened by his goal against Ireland, could not change the direction of the shot so that it hit the net. For the next attempt, the person in charge was Agustín Machellet, tin He shot to the goalkeeper’s right, but this time it was not Mazarelo who avoided the sacred shout, but the English post.

In the third fifteen minutes, Lucas Rey’s team couldn’t find their way in the match.the Europeans grew in the game, the combinations and the effectiveness in vertical passes to create danger. In one of those plays that they managed to create, Wallace made an excellent give and go to face Lele Hernando who could do little to prevent the fall of his fence. Argentina did not stop trying, it continued going forward and through the momentum they got a corner, which led to a penalty and that Tomás Domene (43′) changed for a goal.

In the last quarter the shares were divided, The Lions did not manage to get the ball, but they still had their share of danger for the rival goal. Argentina grew up with ball control, tried to string together consecutive passes and thus reach the Mazarelo area. Although the result has not been what was expected, the freshness of the young people and the experience of the leaders highlight that there is still a lot to build and too much thread to cut..

Substitutes: Joaquín Ruiz, Matías Andreotti, Thomas Habif, Felipe Merlini, Agustín Bugallo, Lucio Méndez Pin and Tobías Martins. DT: Lucas Rey.
