Greek National Water Polo Team Loses to Hungary, to Play for Bronze

The Greek national water polo team suffered a 15-12 defeat against Hungary in the semi-final of the European Championship in Belgrade. The Greek defense struggled, with the Hungarians demonstrating exceptional performance in man-up situations (8/9) compared to the Greeks (5/15). Despite a good start and temporary lead, the Greek team couldn't maintain their advantage and ultimately lost the match. Greece will now compete for the bronze medal against the loser of the other semi-final (Serbia or Italy). The match is scheduled for January 25th at 18:00.
