The first match at Europe Championship Rink Hockey in Paredes
Yesterday Spain, Portugal and France won the first match at Europe Championship Rink Hockey in Paredes. On the first day of the European Championship in Paredes, France, Portugal and Spain signed their first victory: two excellent performances for Portugal and Spain, queens of European hockey, great job for France.
The most exciting match was the first of the tournament, between Italy and France, where the fight to the sound of goals was won by France 8-5. A victory signed by the Di Benedetto brothers, “poker” goals for Carlo and “hat-trick” for Roberto, to which the Italian doubles of Gavioli and Ambrosio responded.
Spain, in the afternoon, won 11-0 against Andorra, thanks to the doubles of Alabart, Aragones, Font and Bargallò, while Portugal, in the evening, won 10-0 against Germany, thanks to the doubles in this case of Telmo Pinto, Jorge Silva and Gonçalo Alves.
