Sam Ward, who has been part of the England setup since 2014, commemorated his 100th England cap by scoring two goals as the team defeated Argentina 3-1 in the Pro League. This marked England’s second victory over the host nation in Santiago del Estero within a three-day period. Ward sustained a severe injury in 2019, which resulted in the loss of sight in his left eye; however, he recovered to compete for Great Britain at both the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympics. The 33-year-old forward netted both goals against Argentina within the initial two minutes of the match, with each originating from a set-piece. Argentina’s Agustin Machelett hit a post before Zach Wallace extended England’s advantage after combining with Thomas Sorsby. Tomas Domene then scored for Argentina from a penalty corner late in the third quarter. England, currently holding the second position in the table, is scheduled to face Ireland again at the same venue on Saturday at 21:30 (00:30 GMT, Sunday). Their opening encounter on Thursday concluded in a draw.
