Water polo fans could enjoy some exciting derbies in the Italian, Greek, Hungarian and Regional League during the mid-week action.

Ortigia and Telimar played out a draw, while Brescia dominated Trieste with a convincing victory in Italy.

In the Regional League, Jug managed to edge out Jadran Herceg Novi.

Meanwhile, Olympiacos had a mixed performance but ultimately secured a solid four-goal win against Apollon Smyrnis in the Greek League.

Szolnok beat OSC in the first match of the 10th round in Hungary.

Italian League, Day 6

The matches in Catania and Brescia were under the spotlight in Italy this week.

The Sicilian derby, between Ortigia and Telimar, ended in a tie, while Brescia defeated Trieste quite easily.
Ortigia started the match strong in Catania, leading 4:0 in just seven minutes. It seemed like they were on their way to a comfortable win. However, Telimar did not give up and managed to recover from the early shock. Quinn Woodhead scored a goal just before the end of the first quarter, making it 1:4.

Yusuke Inaba restored a four-goal advantage shortly after the beginning of the second quarter. Still, Telimar took control. The team from Palermo leveled the score at 5:5 (18th minute). In the middle of the fourth period, Ortigia was two steps ahead (7:5). But Davide Occhione didn’t let Ortigia earn three points. He scored the last two goals in the match. He leveled at 7:7, two and a half minutes before the end. Nobody found the net after that.

Brescia, which was in 6th place before the 6th round, welcomed the 2nd-placed team after five competition days, Trieste. This derby lacked excitement. Brescia showed it had overcome the crisis. The hosts earned a 6:2 advantage at the beginning of the second quarter. From that point on, the difference was never smaller than three goals. Brescia recorded a 15:9 win. Mario Del Basso and Tommaso Gianazza contributed to the win with three goals each.

Pro Recco and Savona beat their rivals with ease. The derby of the capital ended with no winner, just like the Sicilian derby. Roma Vis Nova and Astra Nuoto Roma shared the points 12:12. Posillipo narrowly defeated De Akker in Bologna – 10:9, etc.

Greek League, Day 8

The big match of Day 8 in the Greek League took place in Piraeus.

Olympiacos continued its winning streak in Group A with a convincing win over 2nd-placed Apollon Smyrnis. Still, the visitors didn’t surrender easily despite trailing throughout the match.

Midway through the first quarter, Olympiacos already had a 4-goal lead (5:1). Early in the third quarter, the hosts widened the distance to five after Ioannis Fountoulis scored for 11:6 from a counterattack. However, Apollon narrowed the gap to two before the last period (10:12).

Apollon’s Troulos opened the fourth quarter with an action goal, and his team came very close to the favorite (11:12). It was in the 25th minute. There were no goals in the following several minutes. But, Olympiacos controlled the match. In the 30th minute, the home side scored two goals after personal fouls (Papanastasiou from a 6 on 5 and Foultoulis from a penalty) and gained a solid 14:11 advantage. By the end, they stretched the margin to four (16:12). Ioannis Fountoulis was the man of the match he scored six goals, Dimou added three. Solanakis scored four for Apollon.
