Panagiotis Tzortzatos heroics seal Greece win over Spain in water polo World Cup

·

Greece defeated Spain 15-13 on penalties (11-11) in men’s water polo to close the World Cup qualifying tournament in Alexandroupolis.

Goalkeeper Panagiotis Tzortzatos was decisive, saving two penalties, while Stelios Argyropoulos scored four goals and Vangelis Pouros added three.

Greece recovered from an early 3-0 deficit, with Argyropoulos leading the comeback before a tightly contested match ended level in regular time.

Kakaris forced penalties with a late goal, where Greece converted all attempts and Tzortzatos’ saves secured victory.

Despite the loss, Spain finished first in Group 3, while Greece, already qualified for the World Cup finals in Sydney (July 20–26), awaits final standings.
