Gold remains a dream, Montenegrin juniors have to settle for second place at the World Championship in Podgorica.
After all that was seen, the title was far away, Croatia deserved the cup, first of all because our team, through mistakes, made the rival calmly build a victory in the final.
Montenegro opened the match well, leading with 2:0, but later allowed themselves to lose with a three-goal difference (14:11, at five minutes and 17 seconds to the end).
However, it was not the end, because our water polo players got close to 14:13 four and a half minutes before the end with the goals of Aleksa Ukropina.
However, nothing more could be done, Croatia was simply better in this final, and in the end, the guests were not respected even by the audience, which attacked a group of Croatian fans, while the players in the water were pelted with various objects.
And the bronze went to Hungary.
In the duel between the teams that were in the group with Montenegro, the Hungarians defeated Italy with a score of 12:8.
