Once more we could observe a match with a very good level on behalf of Chile, showing its perfect passing abilities as well as very effective goal situations on behalf of their forwards at the time of scoring. Brazil tried to play but Chile pressured well with their midfield. The Chilean team has a great builder that plans each move demonstrating effectiveness and wit. Chile and Argentina show, as they do in the women teams the chance of fighting for victory. Peru and Paraguay played the most entangled match of the day. Both teams based their games in the midfield and the match was interrupted all the time due to big number of fouls. Anyway, the Peruvian team won after turning round the result. Paraguay fought until the end because, like the women’s team, the trip was too long and it physically affected them too. The match that closed day two was the host team against Argentina. Uruguay started playing at the same level as Argentina, who showed to be a step higher when referring to speed and quality of game. The match was coming and going but Uruguay did not take advantage of the penalty corners, this affected them at the time of opening the score. Argentina could score through two penalty corners and two beautiful field plays that were performed by the sides. Argentina demonstrated being a strong rival and promises to give battle.   | |||||||||
