After a tense match finished 0-0 following an excellent display by both goalkeepers, the two teams had to be separated by a penalty shootout at Shinagawa Tennozu Park.

Maximilian Espinillo and Nicolás Véliz were the heroes for the Argentinians as they took advantage of England’s misses to converted their spot-kicks to ensure their side claimed the inaugural World Grand Prix crown.

After his side's win, Argentina's head coach Martin Demonte said: "I'm very proud of the team.

"Even though we did not play the game that we were practising and working on in Buenos Aires, the players brought up their entire capacity, experience and attitude to score goals against very difficult European rivals [over the course of the tournament].

“I really appreciate this title for all the difficulties we have had to overcome.

"Additionally, a couple of weeks ago we won the under-23 title in Brazil.

"These players will allow the generation replacement in the coming years."

Earlier in the day, Turkey claimed the tournament's bronze medal thanks to a 1-0 win over Russia in normal time.
