Serbia, Greece, USA keep unbeaten at FINA men's water polo world league super final

Xinhua, June 22, 2016 Adjust font size:

Defending champion Serbia, USA and Greece kept winning streak after their second group matches at the FINA Men's Water Polo World League Super Final here on Wednesday as Serbia and Greece enjoyed comfortable victories while USA edged Brazil 10-7 and Australia beat Japan 13-7.

Facing the hosts team China, Serbia found their pace only after Zhang Chufeng scored two goals for a 2-1 lead for China in the first quarter. Serbia then turned the game into shooting exercise with 20-5 (5-2, 4-1, 6-1, 5-1). Milan Aleksic scored four times for Serbia.

"Serbia is one of the best teams in the world. Their experience, swimming speed and personal techniques are much better than us. Since we are a mixed local team with veteran and young players, we had some problems in communication today. We were here for learning," said China's head coach Chen Yaohua.

In other three group matches, Greece romped Italy 15-4 (4-0, 3-1, 4-1, 4-2), Australia beat Japan 13-7 (3-3, 3-2, 5-1, 2-1) and the United States shrugged off Brazil 10-7 (3-2, 2-3, 3-1, 2-1).

Greece now topped the Group A with two victories while Serbia and USA both had two wins in Group B.

Serbia will play USA, Greece face Australia, Japan meet Italy and Brazil play China in the last group matches on Thursday.

A total of eight teams qualified for the FINA Men's Water Polo World League Super Final during June 21-26. Endit
