Two early goals, adept defending and fine goalkeeping by Belen Succi delivered the women's hockey world cup to Argentina.
A Carla Rebecchi strike and a Noel Barrionuevo corner had the hosts two-up inside 10 minutes. One could only admire the Dutch resolve as they slowly worked their way back into the match. It took until the 44th minute for the reigning champions to open their final account – almost inevitably it was Maartje Paumen who unleashed a powerful corner rocket into the roof of the net and flipped the off-switch for the crowd.
Belen Succi then produced an excellent double save from a Dutch corner variation followed by the best PC save of the tournament – getting her left glove to a Paumen rocket that had equaliser written all over it.
Carla Rebeccci added a second Argentine goal in the 54th minute, but the courageous Dutch kept coming with Minke Smeets to the fore. It wasn't to be, as las Leonas delivered a victory right off the scriptwriter's page.
Argentine skipper Lucuiana Aymar (pictured) had a quiet night but deservedly picked up the player of the tournament award.
The crowd roared, the flares burned, the drums thumped and the songs started.

Valiant England matched reigning world champions the Netherlands for much of their world cup semi-final match only to lose in a penalty shootout.
The Dutch had a handful of chances in a goalless first half, but it was England who took the lead in the 56th minute when Hannah MacLeod deflected in a Crista Cullen cross. The Netherlands equalised from a Maartje Paumen corner rocket five minutes later. There was no score in extra time, then it was the dreaded penalty shootout.
Dutch keeper Joyce Sombroek (pictured) save penalties from Charlotte Craddock and Kate Walsh. Beth Storry made one excellent save (from Lidewij Welten) but Kim Lammers netted her penalty to send the Dutch into the final.
England coach Danny Kerry said he was "incredibly proud" of his team. "A classic mistake of youth led to penalty corner and it is in those moments that semi finals are lost and won. Hopefully in two year's time we will be in another semi-final," he said.
