Crossover matches

Montenegro – Croatia 12:11 (2:2, 1:2, 3:2, 1:1, PSO 5:4)

At halftime, the Croats had a 4:3 lead. The Montenegrins opened the second half with three goals in a row and earned a 6:4 advantage three and a half minutes before the last break. Then the Croats produced a 3:0 rush. They leveled by the end of the quarter (6:6). Early in the fourth, Maric converted a penalty shot to put Croatia in front again (7:6).

In the middle of the quarter, Vujosevic equalized from an extra player shot. The defenses dominated in the remaining time. There were no goals anymore, so the penalty shootout decided a winner.

After the first five series of penalties, the score was 3:3 (10:10 in total). Both penalties in the 6th series were converted. That was followed by two saves. Goalkeepers Pavic (Croatia) and Isljamovic (Montenegro) blocked the shots. The Montenegrins secured a win in the 8th series. Montenegro’s Sladovic sent the ball home for 12:11.

Russia responded with two goals for a 7:6 lead. The Dutch’s answer was three straight goals. They went at 9:7 up. For the first and for the last time the difference between the teams was two goals.
