Adriele downs Barra de Santiago with double

The Salvadorians fought to try and get back into the match, but were facing their first defeat in the competition.

As the final whistle went, a tight match ended at 2-0 as the standings are now open and dependant one the matches of the final day in Cagliari, with Lady Grembach, Lazo Apego and Barra de Santiago still in the running for the World Winners title.

Lazo Apego snatch third win against FBA BS

The first two periods between Lazo Apego and FBA Beach Soccer were as tight as it gets, with both goalkeepers shining and the match going goalless into the final 12 minutes.

It was Melania Pisa who broke the deadlock 52 seconds into the third period with a bicycle kick that surprised goalkeeper Yu. But it would be precisely Yu who four minutes later would start Lazo Apego’s reaction with a strike from the middle that ended in the back of FBA’s net.
