The Prince and Princess of Wales’ presence proved to be a good luck charm, as England beat Argentina 27-10 while Wales topped Fiji 32-26.

Goalball is a Paralympic sport for the visually impaired where all the players wear eyeshades or blindfolds. Tactile lines are used for players to feel where they are and the ball has an internal bell allowing the players to hear where it is.

Both Prince William and Princess Kate sported goggles to participate in a penalty shout-out.

Tim Lawler, the chief executive of SportsAid, exclusively tells PEOPLE, “The prince shot and the goalie saved it, but the princess took a shot and she scored, so bragging rights to the princess!”

Lawler adds, “That was a sport they knew very little about and they are pretty informed, so that was a wonderful insight for them. Taking sight away, that creates challenges and pressures — how do you deal with that? How do you lean on your other senses? What imagery can you use in order to achieve your objective?”

The couple also played netball, practicing their focus with various external pressures such as performing with crowd noise. And again, Kate’s team walked away with the victory.

Champion netball player Ama Agbeze, who played on Princess Kate’s team, tells PEOPLE, “We won both times! I think they are really competitive so they both want to be the best and win, a little healthy competition is a good thing.”
