WATER POLO/ U18 WORLD CUP, BUENOS AIRES
For 5th place our National Team, 14-12 USA
The 5thth place of the World Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina will be claimed by our national U18 water polo team.
A little while ago it won 14-12 against the USA and now it will play its last game on Tuesday 9/7 at 23:30 Greek time, against Spain (18-16 against Croatia).
Greece was constantly in front of the score and with large margins (6-1 in the first period, 7-2 in the second while they closed the half with 11-6. Their opponents "scissored" the difference to two goals (with 12-10 ended the third period) but our internationals did not lose their temper, even when it became 13-12 at 01:43 from the end. Belesis made it 14-12 at 01:16 and "sealed" the ground victory.
