The clashes between the bands, which belong equally to the narrow world elite, could have been cut by the fact that the last two stakes matches were won by the Australians. He spoke in favor of the representatives of the distant continent, as Federal Captain Attila Bíró put it: – “brutally strong”, almost unbeatable physically, In addition to creative solutions, the Hungarian supporters’ army is also much possible.
The stakes in the match speak for themselves: the winner is in the top four, while the loser can only be in the top five of the World Cup.
Vályi Vályi brought the ball to the swim amid the cheers of four thousand spectators, but the lead was not won by the third Hungarian team in the 2020 European Championships and last summer in the Olympic bronze medal in Tokyo, but by the Australians in the last five-ring games. Keszthelyi equalized, and Greta Gurisatti already had the advantage over the Hungarians (2-1). But the rival (2-3) turned it over to the end of the opening quarter.
The second quarter was about long up-and-down swims, because the attacks on both sides were ruined, but the situations were missed until Keszthely finally managed to equalize (3-3).
After the big break, the field played with errors continued, the teams were mutually inaccurate, or the goalkeepers were in a good place at the right time. The nerve was felt here and there, and it was almost three minutes away from the third quarter when Vályi pounded the ball into the bottom right corner (4-3). There was a rock-hard battle in the water, sometimes a ruthless duel for every ball. It was thirty-six seconds back from the quarter when Rybanska Natasa pulled the fifth Hungarian goal into the net up close (5-3).
In the final, the Australians beautified from a penalty, but Rybanska, after a great block, punched into the top right corner at the end of the counter-action (6-4). He converted the position at the rival to 6-5 out of a double human advantage. It was seventy-five seconds back when Keszthelyi shot to the bottom right, and his third hit scored a Hungarian lead of 7-5, and at the same time – although an Australian fell – he scored a home victory.
With its success, Hungary’s national team was in the top four and could play for the final with the Dutch on Thursday, while Australia’s 5-8. you can continue for a place.
