Then the USA demonstrated their physical superiority, scoring eight of the next nine goals to make it 9-2 at the half.<\/p>\n<p>The American\u2019s advantage was such that a crowd of Colombian players\u2014the American\u2019s next opponent\u2014spoke excitedly in the stands about the USA\u2019s shooting power and ability to play water polo at a faster pace.<\/p>\n<p>Cervantes\u2019 team attempted to follow their game plan with little success, settling for misfired shots. Only Real and <strong>Gustavo Guimar\u00e3es<\/strong>\u2014a veteran of the Brazil\u2019s brilliant run in the 2016 Rio Olympics\u2014were able to beat American goalie <strong>Drew Holland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous Brazilian first-half attacks were repulsed by Holland, who again enjoyed a fabulous night, registering 13 saves a day after a 16-save effort in a 10-9 win over Canada.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/usa-water-polo-opens-fina-intercontinental-cup-with-10-9-win-over-canada-in-rematch-of-2019-panam-final\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[USA Water Polo Opens FINA Intercontinental Cup with 10-9 Win Over Canada in Rematch of 2019 PanAm Final]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the second half of the water polo match, Brazil fought back but the closest they came was 13-8 on a goal by Real with a little over a minute to go. Stevenson, who propelled the American offense, was the man of the match.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, the Brazilian coach mentioned a match Thursday against Canada, which rebounded from its narrow loss to the U.S. with a 19-18 win over Australia Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a team with 2-3 experienced players,\u201d Cervantes said about the immediate challenge of playing tough opponents. \u201cThe rest are new because we want to build a team for the future,\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/usawaterpolo.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USA<\/a>\u00a0 water polo Goals: (4, 5, 3, 2) S.
