Greece’s Olympic water polo team crush the United States

·

Greece’s men’s water polo team celebrated another victory at the Paris Olympics as they defeated the USA 13-11 to secure their place in the quarterfinals.

The USA started the game finding solutions with two quick goals, to which the Greek team responded and soon took their first lead of the match (3-2), which they extended shortly after.

The Americans reduced with a penalty and finally equalised at the end of the first eight minutes, with a goal by the goalkeeper Weinberg from one side of the pool to the other (4-4).

Greece consistently had the upper hand, finding a way to take the lead in the game. At halftime, the blue and white were leading 7-6. The Greek internationals got solutions from Fountoulis, who scored four goals in the third period and entered with a two-goal lead in the last eight minutes (11-9).

Argyropoulos had a great day and offered his best, especially in the offensive part. Greece took a three-goal lead into the fourth period and laid a strong foundation for victory. The positive result came, as did the qualification to the eight.
