One more unforgettable day for futsal is gone celebrating the MFC Laguna-Uor Penza triumph in San Donato Milanese, land hosting the 4 Nations Futsal Women's Cup Winners' Cup. If the strong russian side is the winner on the pitch, women futsal on a bigger concept has conquered a huge room on the international stage, proving once again that its standard and entertainment deserve more attention from national Fas, media and fans. Everything went well in the tournament organization set up by Kickoff C5 Femminile's president and head coach Riccardo Russo, in collaboration with the italian futsal committee (Divisione Calcio a 5) which also provided us with the pictures posted below, taken by Paolo Cassella

FSF Mostoles vs Kickoff C5 Femminile: experience pays off
There's finally a reason to smile for the madrilenian side FSF Mostoles after losing the national supercup and the 4 Nations semifinal to Laguna-Uor yesterday. Experience was the key of the game for Patri Chamorro and mates, who manage to control the game against the italian side, even after the 1-1 tie signed by Chiara Zambelli. Doubles by Inma and Eva Manguan plus a single goal by Maria Otero guaranteed a seat for the bronze medal in the flight coming back to Spain. On the other side Kickoff C5 Femminile have nothing to regret about their first jump on the international stage and let's pay them the deserved tribute for organising such a prestigious and brilliant tournament. Good job

1/2 place final

MFC Laguna-Uor Penza - FC Vermoim: the perfect machine which came from Russia
There are no reasonable doubts about the deserved winner of this tournament. Early goals in the first and second half by Julia Titova (unlucky victim of bad injury few minutes later) and Maria Filisova could overcome the lusitan opposition, giving MFC Laguna-Uor Penza the prestigious throphy. Head coach Mikhail Kryukov has been able to build a perfect machine which can count on the experience of Svetlana Rogovskaya and Pavlina Borodina as well on the crystalline talent of the russian star Tatiana Deripasko and their ukrainian mates Titova and Gorobets. The last minutes show by Alina Gorobets just proved her status of absolute queen in the women continental futsal scenario. Francisco Paiva have reasons to be proud for that silver medal: players like Ana Azevedo and Patrícia Magalhães are there to argue the high profile of lusitan women futsal, parabens garotas.
