Then came the turn of Argentina, which was measured against the Italian team. With a good performance and great efficiency, the albicelestes scored their first victory in the tournament after defeating the Europeans by 25 goals to 20.
Finally, Brazil closed the day for the South Americans. The Cariocas failed to win against France, one of the great teams of the tournament, and the match was closed at 37-18.
