Argentina Off to a Good Start
London – Argentina’s national women field hockey team, Las Leonas, the reigning World Cup champions, today defeated 1-0 their Chinese counterparts, Beijing 2008 Olympic Games silver medalists, in their second friendly match in London, before their debut Sunday at the Olympic Games against South Africa.
The defense Noel Barrionuevo scored the only point for the match, from short corner at minute 10 of the second half.
“We played well. I left satisfied with the team’s performance. China wanted to play behind closed doors, so we tried to make a drill of what we are going to do on Sunday in our debut against South Africa,” expressed the team’s coach, Carlos Retegui, after the match.
