With a win over Serbia, Slovakia got into the winner\u2019s column for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>After four days of women&#8217;s competition, three teams remain unbeaten and have booked top spots in Tuesday\u2019s quarterfinals: Hungary, the Netherlands and Spain. Also advancing: Russia, which has an astounding +86 goal differential; Greece, which has one loss and a match against the Russians to play; Italy, which will finish group play against France; and the French, who have wins against hapless Germany and Israel\u2014a combined 0-8 with a -111 goal differential.<\/p>\n<p>Friday&#8217;s marquee match-up was host Hungary looking to extend its winning ways against a Greek squad that had enjoyed success against three teams that prior to Friday had one win in nine attempts and been outscored by more than 100 goals. They were a good match for a Hungarian side that had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/hungary-womens-water-polo-undefeated-in-2020-european-championship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">been tested<\/a> Wednesday by Russia. <strong>Krisztina Garda<\/strong> (four goals) and <strong>Grace Parkes<\/strong> (three scores) were difference makers as Hungary pulled ahead in the middle two periods for a 13-10 win. For Greece, <strong>Christina Kotsia<\/strong>, <strong>Margarita Plevritou<\/strong> and <strong>Eleni Xenaki<\/strong> scored twice. With a match Monday against winless Serbia, Head Coach <strong>Attila Bir\u00f3&#8217;s<\/strong> squad is assured of being unbeaten entering quarterfinal play.<\/p>\n<p>Hungary\u2019s other rival in Group A is Russia, who obliterated Croatia by the score of 34-1. This is the third Russian win in Budapest that has had a goal differential of at least +25; it\u2019s hard to see the reason behind such inflated scores. Russians top the individual scoring at this European Championship; the result that stands out for Head Coach <strong>Alexander Gaidukov<\/strong> is Wednesday\u2019s 9-8 loss to the home team. A match-up Sunday against Greece will be a more realistic appraisal of his team\u2019s fitness for gold at this tournament.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_271384\" style=\"width: 535px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-271384\" data-attachment-id=\"271384\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/catching-attila-biro-hungarian-womens-coach\/biro-aug18\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/biro-aug18.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,853\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 7D Mark II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1495619562&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Madar David info@madardavid.hu +3630-7005390&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0015625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"biro-aug18\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;08\/07\/17&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Hungarian Water Polo Feneration&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/biro-aug18-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/biro-aug18-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-271384\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/biro-aug18-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"biro-aug18\" width=\"525\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/biro-aug18-533x355.jpg 533w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/biro-aug18-280x187.jpg 280w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/biro-aug18-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/biro-aug18.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-271384\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hungary&#8217;s Attila Bir\u00f3.

Friday\u2019s match against France was another blow-out, as the Dutch won 18-1. <strong>Maartje Keuning<\/strong> scored four times, while <strong>Debby Willemsz<\/strong> (three saves) was perfect in goal in relief of starter <strong>Joanne Koenders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>An 19-4 win over Germany behind four scores from <strong>Paula Crespi Barriga<\/strong>, pushed Spain to 4-0. The Spaniards will be tested in their final match in Group B play as they face Holland on Monday. Barring a tie, one of these two will go into quarterfinal action with a loss. For a second straight match, <strong>Roser Tarrago<\/strong> had limited minutes. Spain\u2019s best player is likely being rested for the match up with the Dutch, the defending European Champions. With a berth to the Tokyo Games already in their pockets, Head Coach <strong>Miguel Oca\u2019s<\/strong> side has less to play for than other top European squads in Budapest, which will book an Olympic berth with a finals win.<\/p>\n<p>Italy had no trouble against an inexperienced Israeli squad, winning 17-1. For the Italians, <strong>Enrica Emmolo<\/strong> had four scores; they will be favored in their match against France, which Friday lost to the Dutch but are assured a spot in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n<p>The only remaining contest for a quarterfinal berth is between Croatia and Slovakia. The Croatians took a beating from Russia but possess a win over Serbia. So now do the Slovakians; on Friday they beat the Serbs 6-2. Monday&#8217;s match between Croatia and Slovakia will decide the final quarterfinal berth and should be as competitive as any at a tournament dominated by big winners and downcast losers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Group A\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Group B<\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Hungary (4-0)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Netherlands (4-0)<br \/>\nGreece (3-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Spain (4-0)<br \/>\nRussia (3-1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Italy (2-2)<br \/>\nCroatia (1-3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 France (2-2)<br \/>\nSlovakia (1-3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Israel (0-4)<br \/>\nSerbia (0-4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Germany (0-4)<\/p>\n<p>For live streaming and all scoring sheets, visit the 2020 Budapest website <a href=\"https:\/\/wp2020budapest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the results reveal, there is a huge divide between the top and bottom of the women\u2019s bracket at the 34th LEN European Water Polo Championships.
