Women's Futsal World Cup: Argentina fall to Portugal in the semi-finals | OneFootball

The Argentina Women’s Futsal National Team could not overcome Portugal’s dominance in one of the semifinals of the first Women’s Futsal World Cup. The match was played at the PhilSports Arena in the Philippines, and ended 7-1 in favor of the Portuguese side, who will play the final against the winner of Spain vs. Brazil. Meanwhile, the Albiceleste will face the loser of the other semifinal on Sunday.

The match

It was a very tough start, as a result of some mistakes and the relentless intensity of the Portuguese team, and after 10 minutes the score was already 5-0 in favor of Portugal: goals by Lidia Moreira (twice), Fifo (twice), and Janice Silva. At the 14th minute, Ana Azevedo scored the sixth for Luis Conceicao’s squad.

The second half also saw quick goals, as Inés Matos scored within the first minute to extend Portugal’s commanding lead. Before the end of the match, Mailén Romero pulled one back for Nicolás Noriega’s team.

The story doesn’t end here, as the Albiceleste will play until the last day of the competition and will contest the third-place match next Sunday at 6:00 against either Brazil or Spain, ranked 1st and 2nd in the world, respectively.
