The young water polo team made a feat and spoiled Hungary, one of the favorites at the World Cup in Kuwait.

Veljko Uskoković's team won 15:14 in an exciting round of 9 match and continued on their way to a medal, while Hungary completely unexpectedly entered the fight for placing from 13th to XNUMXth place.

Our selection had a three-goal advantage on several occasions, and entered the finish line with plus two, but the Hungarians could have equalized in the last minute.

However, the defenders of the Montenegrin team did an excellent job in the opponent's last attack, so Hungary did not even shoot at the goal.

With 20 seconds left, Uskoković asked for a time-out, after which the lead was routinely preserved.

Nebojša Vušković was the best with four goals, Savo Ćetković and Petar Mijušković scored three each, and Uroš Vučurović, Danilo Radović, Miroslav Perković, Dušan Matković and Branko Franeta each scored one.

Tomorrow, Montenegro will play in the quarter-finals against Serbia, which secured a direct placement among the top eight by taking first place in Group A.

Our national team will be weakened in the quarter-final match after Fina, based on the video, punished the captain Matković with a match suspension for hitting a Hungarian player.
