    Day 6, game 3 and Argentina faced a tough task taking on unbeaten New Zealand. A win for the Lions would take them level on points and a win for the Kiwis would give them breathing space at the top.

    The importance of the match was reflected in the tight nature of the first half. It was New Zealand though who shaded the half, with Simon Childs going closest, smashing an effort from distance onto the crossbar. Argentina had their keeper to thank later in the half when Vivaldi made a great save to deny Edwards a goal from close range.

    The second half started with the game delicately poised at 0-0 and having failed to capitalise on their dominance in the first half, New Zealand were punished by Argentina when Gonzalo Peillat converted a penalty corner. New Zealand responded well to that disappointment though and equalised when Burrows free hit was deflected in off Stephen Jenness. The Argentinians, however, looked determined to punish New Zealand's profligacy in front of goal in the first half and Peillat was on target again just moments later from another penalty goal. Peillat wasn't finished there though and his habit of scoring from penalty corners continued and 10 minutes later heaped more misery on the Lions, completing his hattrick and moving Argentina level on points with New Zealand.
