In the World Cup match for 7th place, Montenegro is set to face Hungary. While it may not influence results, it carries a certain prestige…
Serbian water polo players edged out Hungary with a score of 11:10 in the playoff for the 5th to 8th positions. On Saturday, they will compete against Greece for the fifth spot at the World Cup in Doha.
This outcome ensures Uroš Stevanović’s team has improved their chances in the Olympic Games draw, pushing our selection to the final grouping.
However, this does not guarantee that the “sharks” will end up in the weakest group, as it has been decided that the fourth hat will include South Africa, Japan, and another representative from Africa and Asia.
Despite being a non-medal-deciding match, the showdown between Serbia and Hungary showcased exceptional water polo, culminating in a nail-biting finish…
Hungary aimed to avoid defeat in their last attack. Žolt Varga brought goalkeeper Šoma Vogel to the forefront; after a well-executed play, the ball reached him. However, Radoslav Filipović was prepared and made a spectacular save, securing the victory for Serbia.
Filipović ended the match with 12 saves, while Strahinja Rašović and Radomir Drašović also played critical roles, contributing three and two goals, respectively.
For Hungary, Gergo Zalanki scored three goals, while Denes Varga added two to their tally.
The Montenegro vs. Hungary match will take place on Saturday, barring any schedule changes.
