Brazil won two gold medals at the water polo tournament at the 12th South American Games, held in Asuncion (Paraguay).

The Brazilians beat Argentina in both finals. The female team of Brazil recorded a convincing 14:8 victory, while the men’s final offered a lot of excitement. Brazil defeated Argentina after a penalty shootout (13:12).

2022 South American Games, men’s water polo tournament

The tournament in Asuncion was the third men’s water polo competition at the South American Games. Water polo debuted in 2010. The tournament wasn’t held in 2014 but was back on the competition program at the previous SA Games in 2018. Argentina won gold medals in 2010 and 2018, beating Colombia in the final both times. Brazil’s biggest success before the 12th Games was bronze in 2010.

Group stage

All six participating teams in the group stage played in one group. Brazil and Argentina recorded four convincing wins each, while the derby between these two teams was scheduled for round 3. Argentina beat its biggest rival 10:8 and secured 1st place. There were a lot of goals in almost all matches, but one encounter produced a “football” result. Chile defeated Uruguay 3:2.

The top four teams from the group advanced to the semifinals. Neither Argentina nor Brazil had problems in the semis. Argentina trashed Chile (20:2), while Brazil beat Colombia (17:6)

Argentina, encouraged by a win over Brazil in the group stage, started very well in the final and took a 2:0 lead. But Brazil, led by Gustavo Guimaraes, took control and built a 9:6 lead late into the third quarter. Guimaraes, who has played in several clubs in Europe, scored even seven goals in the final. Still, Argentina leveled at 9:9. Guimaraes responded with his 7th goal to give the Brazilians a 10:9 lead. In the last minute, Argentina’s Bonomo equalized, and the match entered a shootout. Brazil was more successful in the penalty drama and celebrated a 13:12 victory.
