Already seen - the Montenegrin water polo players "spilled" all the good they did in the first two with a desperate game in the third quarter.

That's how it was in most of the matches at the European Championship in Split, and today's defeat against Greece 14:12 in the first of two matches for placing from 5th to 8th place was no exception.

"What happened to us in the third quarter? That's the million dollar question. I think we complicated things unnecessarily because it seemed like we were in control. Then it was the damn quarter, we conceded a lot of goals and we couldn't let's bring it back," Dušan Matković, the double scorer against Greece, is honest.

The match was of great importance, because the triumph could bring the "sharks" a place in the World Championship.

"We knew how important this match was, and now we have no right to lose - we have to celebrate in the duel for seventh place if we want to go to the World Cup," added Matković.
