The junior water polo team of Montenegro defeated Canada 23:3 in the match of the second round of group D at the World Championship in Belgrade.
At the start, the young "sharks" were better than South Africa 20:6, while Canada was defeated by Spain 21:4.
In the victory over Canada, Neđo Baštrica stood out with six goals, four were scored by Lazar Vukićević, three by Balša Vučković, and two each by Danilo Dragović, Danilo Stupar, Mlađan Janović and Vladan Vukićević.
Pavle Krivokapić and Miloš Vukšić each entered the list of scorers.
"I am satisfied with the approach of the players, they did everything that was asked of them as seriously as possible, and through these two matches we slowly raised our form for the main thing to come. Next is the derby with Spain, they are one of the main favorites for the gold, but if we give our maximum and we respect the agreement from the locker room, then we can match them," coach Vido Lompar said.
The match started with a minute's silence due to the tragedy that befell Cetinje yesterday.
The U18 selection will play against Spain in the derby of the group stage on Monday from 10:30.
