Water Polo Derby You Can’t Miss! Serbia vs Italy Battle for Top Spot in Group at World Championship in Singapore
Thought summer was boring? Think again! The Serbian water polo team at the World Championship in Singapore showed why they are the reigning Olympic champions and why their matches are the derby of the year. After a crushing 24-goal victory over South Africa (90-66), the real test awaits – Italy!
Serbian Dolphins Swimming Towards the Quarterfinals
In the first round, our water polo players demolished South Africa, not allowing them to score a single goal in the first quarter and scoring a whopping 90 goals themselves! Yes, you read that right – 90 goals! Serbia dominated in every aspect of the game, and coach Uroš Stevanović made it clear this is just the beginning and the real challenges are ahead.
Italy – The Biggest Rival in the Group
In the second round, scheduled for Monday at 14:45, Serbia faces Italy. This match will likely decide who goes directly to the quarterfinals, as only the first-placed team in the group advances without additional playoffs. Italy is known as a tough opponent, and their young team recently defeated Montenegro in a nail-biting semifinal of the U16 European Championship.
Montenegro’s Young Sharks Fall to Italy
Montenegro’s U16 team, known as the ‘young sharks,’ failed to reach the European Championship final, losing to Italy 12-13. Despite chances to turn the game around, the Italians were sharper in the final moments. Danilo Roganović was the top scorer for Montenegro with five goals. This match shows how strong Italy is and how much Serbia will have to fight to beat them.
