Great Chile, grade our Diablas! This morning, those led by Sergio "Cachito" Vigil, won a tremendous victory in front of the South African selection and were placed in the 13th box of the world ranking, a historic location for Chile.
Below we tell you more than were the historical milestones of Chile Hockey in Amsterdam.
- Classification at the end of the eighth: thanks to the victory vs Ireland.
- In the final octaves, 5-0 vs Belgium, the current Olympic champions, fell.
- After that, we played the Top 10 last Sunday vs China, a meeting that was 3-0 below and left Chile in the 13-place world ranking dispute.
In that party, Sofia Filipek, one of our Diablas, fulfilled its 150 international caps.
And so we came to this instance: the party vs South Africa, which was held on Tuesday, July 12 and would be Chile's last in the planetary event.
As if we had not made enough history, we achieved a second victory in this World Cup thanks to a tremendous goal of two touches of Manuela Urroz, who left her as the protagonist of the day and Chile, as the best 13 selection in the world in the field of grass hockey. How big!
"We knew it was going to be a super intense party, South Africa is a tremendous rival with an Olympic Game and for us it was a super important party to show the world in the events we want to continue presenting ourselves to the future, so we are very happy for the result because we played it to win and it ended up being so," said Manuela Urroz who was also chosen as a party player.
Diego Amoroso, also Coach de Las Diablas, said: "We are very happy for this beautiful result, played a tremendous game. The truth is that it was not easy to win it after the last two defeats, we were hit not only in the spirit but also in the physical and faced a rival who was in its potentiality with a great physicist and we knew what it was to be. But we took it forward, played from the strategic a very good game and despite having had downturns for moments, we could remedy it and move it forward," said.
