Chile appeared best organized and calm from the start, thus they opened the score – in the seventh minute – through Daniela Caram, who netted from a superb reverse shot.

ARGENTINA TROUNCE BRAZIL 15-0, CLOSE TO FINAL

The men’s Argentine team demolished Brazil 15-0 in the last match of the fourth day of the 8th South American (ODESUR) Games at the Club Ciudad de Buenos Aires on Sunday.

Though Argentina kept the pace from the very begining, Brazil showed their improvement in their play and moves. Thus, Brazil produced some counterattacks, reaching a penalty corner with one of them, but without consequences.

Argentina went to the break leading 5-0 with goals from Lucas Argento, in the first minute; Lucas Rossi, in the fourth; Tomás Argento, two minutes later; Germán Orozco from a penalty stroke, in the 26th, and Marco Riccardi, in the 33rd.
