The blues, with an amazing Rossi, get back to 3-3, with England leading by a goal in the fourth chukker. It is in the fifth that the final was decided. Italy had two paths ahead of it. One would see her collapse under the English fury, the other, fortunately chosen, would allow her to play perfectly. Three more goals scored by Rossi and Maitana Marré, surprisingly reaching 6-4. Powerful recovery of the English, which however do not go beyond the draw. This is thanks to the containment work of our athletes. The tie has therefore handed the gold the trophy, taking advantage of the handicap.

Word to the protagonists

Ginevra Visconti, veteran of the group, expressed herself as follows after this umpteenth Italian triumph: “It was a very difficult week, considering Costanza Marchiorello's injury in the first match against England. The girls were very good, from Camila Rossi to Alice Coria and Maitana Marré. We have had to face many problems and this success pays off ”.
