At the beginning of the second half referee sin-binned Mamuka Gorgodze, captain of “The Lelos”. While Gorgodze was sin-binned, Argentina scored 3 tries.
It was obvious that the opponent would win this match. Before that, in the first half Argentina opened score by a drop kick and then scored a try. “The Lelos” minimized score by Merab Kvirikashvili’s penalties and the first half finished 9:14.
Argentina scored 7 tries in the second half and won the match 54:9.
