Only a tie (1-1) after the early final Portugal-Spain. France beats England 4-2

In the first game, France secured its presence in the Final 3rd-4th place by bending England 4-2. A balanced game where the difference was made by the expert Vanessa Daribo, able to score three goals; the fourth goal French was scored by Riou. England hit two bars before scoring a goal, but also found a second with Megan Todd. Portugal-Spain was also very balanced, a taste of Saturday’s final. 1-1 after the first half and after the end of the match with the goals of Casarramona (Spain) and the young Raquel Santos for home team, supported to almost 500 people in the stands. In the 2nd half, Ferreira did not pass the goalkeeper Ferrer in a direct shot but there are many occasions when the two goalkeepers have made the difference. The balance was maintained throughout the match with several occasions on both sides. At the last minute thrill for Spain, when the goalkeeper lands an opponent: from the penalty shot, however, Ana Catarina fails to score the goal of the game. 
Tomorrow two decisive matches for the final classification and the definition of the two finals on Saturday. Spain against France at 17:30 GMT (18:30 CET) and Italy-England at 20:00 GMT, 21:00 CET. All the matches will be broadcasted live through europe.worldskate.tv and for Portugal tv.fpp.pt, for Spain feptv.es and for Italy hockeypista.fisrtv.it and Satellite Free to Air MS Channel (FTA Hotbird).
