Match Review NED - ARG 3-2

Watch clips from the Netherlands - Argentina game …Posted November 28, 2015

The final match of the day was an absolute thriller between the continental champions of Europe and Pan America, with the Netherlands taking a 3-2 win over the ever-impressive Argentina to move to the top of Pool B at the end of Day 2.

Defending champions the Netherlands were irrepressible in the early stages, establishing a 3-0 lead thanks to spectacular strikes from youngster Thierry Brinkman and Seve van Ass before Roel Bovendeert tapped home a fine team move.

However, two goals from Argentine penalty corner expert Gonzalo Peillat dragged Los Leones back into the game and set up a tense final quarter. Despite great pressure from their South American rivals, excellent defensive work ensured that Oranje held on to claim all three points.

“Sometimes you don’t know if it is better to lose 4-0 or 3-2, as it hurts to come so close to making a comeback”, said Argentina captain Pedro Ibarra. “I felt we were the better team today, but we were not so effective in front of goal. We need to make more of our chances when we play our next match against Germany.”

Netherlands scorer Thiery Brinkman said: “The win was ok and the first half was great, especially scoring the three goals, but Peillat is a great penalty corner flicker and is capable of hurting teams. We were defending too much in the final quarter, we need to look at how we played in the early stages.”
