GB players celebrate Sam Ward's goal against Argentina
Alan Forsyth and Phil Roper scored two apiece as Great Britain dominated Olympic champions Argentina in a 5-1 victory in the FIH Pro League.
Forsyth's penalty stroke opened the scoring before Sam Ward doubled GB's lead from a penalty corner.
Roper tapped in from close range for GB's third before Matias Paredes pulled a goal back for the hosts in Rosario.
But Forsyth and Roper scored their second goals in quick succession in the final quarter to wrap up the win.
Danny Kerry's side are now third in the standings with Roper having scored five goals in their opening four matches of the FIH Pro League.
Later on Saturday, GB's women lost 4-2 to Argentina, with Grace Balsdon and Sarah Jones scoring the Olympic champions' goals.
Their next fixture is against Germany in Moenchengladbach on 24 April, before the men's teams go head-to-head four days later.
On 27 April, the women's team play their first home game, at London's Olympic Park, against the United States, while the men must wait until 4 May to play in front of a home crowd, when they face Spain.
