　　With a host of new, enthusiastic educators on the squad, ISA proved to be up to the challenge, defeating England 2-1 in their opening match. Attacking duo Ibra and Andrei each scored in the first half. Keeper Kaleb Caballero was outstanding between the pipes, continually thwarting English efforts to equalise.

After an uplifting, emotional speech by coach Sean Maj, ISA returned undaunted in the second half, finding its feet and scoring 3 straight goals to secure the draw.

　　在小組賽的第二場(chǎng)比賽中，愛(ài)莎代表隊(duì)迎戰(zhàn)廣州飛府隊(duì)，作為技術(shù)嫻熟的廣州本土球隊(duì)，飛府隊(duì)在上半場(chǎng)比賽中先發(fā)制人，已3-0。但愛(ài)莎代表隊(duì)在教練Sean Maj的指導(dǎo)及鼓勵(lì)下重振旗鼓，士氣高昂地投入下半場(chǎng)比賽中，連進(jìn)三球與飛府隊(duì)打成平手。
