Ireland 1 Argentina 0

Ireland produced one of their best tournament performances ever to overcome world number 7s Argentina 1-0 but it was all in vain.

Ronan Gormley scored the goal from a short corner rebound, his third this week after breaking his duck against Trinidad, in the tightest game of the tournament so far.

The win, though, left Ireland on tenterhooks hoping France could take points off New Zealand to give them a final two spot to playoff for the Olympic place.

And New Zealand won 2-0 to go through to Sunday’s final along with Argentina with Ireland third in the group, losing out on goal difference.

Well done to the Irish lads. It must be heartbreaking to have come so close. They need to hold their heads up high as everyone in Ireland is so proud of them!
