Argon'ze's
most recent Barcelona Fives appearance was at
the 2018 editions of the tournament. They did
pretty well in the group phase as they finished
in second place in the table behind 2015 &
2021 champions Club Esportiu de Llefia. They
secured 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their
5 games to qualify for the Cup competition.
They drew 1-1 with Red Light Runners in the
QF and progressed via penalties. They went out
in the Semi-Finals to AC Mazi 1996 – an outstanding
Greek team.
Today,
with a much changed team from 2018, they had
found Group A pretty tough. They had lost 4-2
and 2-0 to the top two teams so they had certainly
not been outclassed. Round 4 of Group A proved
to be their chance to sign. They were upagainst
a CBT FC who had begun with a win but had since
experienced two defeats. Losing momentum in
these events can be a hard habit to break just
as winning momentum can see teams riding a crest
of a wave.
There
was only one goal in it during the first half
– Ali Daouadi scored it, his second of the tournament.
After the break Mathieu Schincariol scored his
second and third of the day to put his team
in control. Guillermo Santamaria Juesas claimed
Argon'ze A's fourth goal as they were en route
to all 3 points.
CBT
FC had the final say though as Chandos Hoskins
made it 4-1 but it proved to be a mere consolation.
