England edge past Argentina, Aussies dash French hopes
It was England’s flair vs Argentina’s grit and, not to forget, their penalty corner specialist. When Argentina got their first penalty corner in the 17th minute, everyone expected only one outcome. Gonzalo Peillat stepped up and delivered. Such was the pace of his drag-flick that the ball went through George Pinner – through the small gap between his right arm and torso. England hit back with a brilliantly worked field goal through Barry Middleton in the 27th minute.
