The water polo classic, the derby of the group that includes Montenegro, was in the colors of Italy.
"Setebelo" defeated Croatia with a furious game in the third quarter - 14:11.
On the wings of victory in the first round against Montenegro, Ivica Tucak's team entered today's duel brilliantly, at the beginning of the second quarter it was 5:3, but then Italy started to dance...
Led by the great Francesco di Fulvio, Alessandro Campagna's boys won 9:6 and practically announced victory even then.
It was Di Fulvio who was the most effective with four goals, while Andrea Fondeli, Gonsalo Ećenike and Lorenzo Bruni scored two each.
On the other side, Loren Fatović and Konstantin Harkov hit the net twice each.
