Bali club routed by Argentineans

JAKARTA (JP): Bali's professional soccer club Gelora Dewata will head for the Indonesian League's new season with a lot of homework to do after crashing 3-0 to Argentina's national junior team at home yesterday.

The Argentineans scored all their goals in the final 15 minutes through Messina Marcelo, Molinari Gabriel and Muzitelli Marcos. It was their first win on their Indonesian tour after two draws in Bandung and Surabaya on Saturday and Monday.

A full strength Gelora had most of the possession in the first half but looked shaky as the game wore on, Antara reported. The home side left the pitch for the break with three golden chances having been wasted. (amd)
