GBR v ARG Post match interview with Maddie Hinch (…Posted June 13, 2015

Great Britain picked off two real poacher’s goals to beat Argentina 2-0 in a crucial Pool A clash, one that sees the British side lead the way with two wins from two.

Hannah MacLeod and Sophie Bray were the scorers, both diving on to close range chances, getting in ahead of multiple Argentine defenders.

The first half was fiercely contested with little to separate the two sides. The clearest chance fell to Alex Danson from the penalty spot after a penalty corner was deflected onto a defender’s elbow on the line. Danson’s effort, however, pinged off the outside of the post and away to safety from an Argentine perspective.

Maddie Hinch ensured that it remained scoreless into the big break when she poked out a leg to kick away a Carla Rebecchi drag-flick. MacLeod broke the deadlock, though, seven minutes after the restart. She pounced when Danson’s shot was half-stopped by Belen Succi, lifting the ball up and over the prone goalkeeper for a key goal.

Argentina responded with vigour, winning numerous corners and causing plenty of danger with a string of big chances but Hinch was not to be beaten. GB held their nerve and caused their own problems with the swift running of Susannah Townsend a factor. From a corner in the 58th minute, Kate Richardson-Walsh’s sweep was charged down but Lily Owsley swooped to get the ball into the danger zone where Bray nipped in to score.
