Plus 30: Convincing victory for the "Sharks" against Great Britain

The third match in three days and another easy victory for our water polo players at the World Cup Division 2 qualifying tournament in Malta.

That was, admittedly, expected, so Dejan Savić's team, after their goals against Kazakhstan and Argentina, did the same in the duel with Great Britain - it was 34:4.

Plus 30 in favor of the "Sharks" shows what a difference in quality there is, especially shown by the fact that our selection conceded only four goals in 32 minutes of water polo - one each in the first and second quarter, and two in the last quarter.

After just three minutes, it was 4:0 for Montenegro with goals from Strahinja Gojković, Jovan Vujović (two goals) and Vladan Spaić, and later the lead only grew...

The best period was the third, in which the favorite scored 10 goals and conceded none. They scored more goals in the last eight minutes.

Đuro Radović was the most efficient with six goals, Danilo Stupar, Aleksa Ukropina, Gojković and Spaić scored four each, Srđan Janović scored three...

Stupar was named player of the match on the day he celebrated his 19th birthday.

"An expected victory for us, we knew that Great Britain did not possess great quality and that we needed to enter the match in the right way in order to routinely resolve it in our favor," said Stupar.

Only goalkeepers Petar Tešanović and Darko Đurović, who defended for half a game, did not score.

Montenegro enters the knockout phase - followed by the round of 16 - as the fourth best team in the league stage (the rankings took into account results, goal difference, and the strength of the opponent), and the two best teams from the tournament will qualify for the Super Finals to be played in Sydney, with Australia as the host of the final.

"It doesn't matter who our opponent will be in the round of 16. The only important thing is that we give our best and then there won't be any problems," said young left-handed water polo player Jadran M:tela.

In the Division 1 tournament, which is being played in Greece, four of the five travelers to the Superfinal are already known.

These are Italy, Hungary, Spain and Greece, and the last one is being sought between Croatia, the United States of America, Serbia and the Netherlands.
