Semi-final: Hungary defeats Serbia

During a stunning match, world silver medallist Hungary defeated Olympic champion Serbia by 12:11 (1:3, 5:3, 3:3, 3:2). In the beginning, it seemed like Serbia was going to continue their winning streak of the previous four games. They took the lead with a 3:1 during the first quarter and extended their lead to 5:2 in the second quarter before the Hungarian team found their way back into the game and managed to even the score before the halftime break.

The last two quarters were characterized by each team competing fiercely for the lead, until Hungary was finally able to take it with two goals, two minutes before the end of the game. Serbia managed to catch up at 11:12, yet could not turn the game in their favor. Best scorers were Bence Batori (HUN) and Gavril Subotic (SRB) with three goals each.

Semi-final: Penalty Shootout: Germany defeated by Australia

The second semi-final of the day also had everything a water polo fan could dream of. A game played neck-to-neck with no team managing to stay on top for long. By the end of the official time, the scoreboard showed 8:8, reflecting the intense effort given by the equally matched teams.

Therefore, the final decision had to be made through a penalty shootout. The very close game ended with 11:10 (2:3, 2:1, 3:3, 1:1, 2:3) for Australia, leaving Germany defeated.

“To score two goals and then miss three is pretty devastating but this is the game”, admitted German coach Hagen Stamm after the game. “The team gave its best today and played an awesome game. We can only congratulate the boys. In the end, we just did not have that tiny bit of extra luck to decide the game in our favor”, explained Hagen Stamm.
