Attendance: 12,000. Referees: Margeta (Slovenia) and Pordomingo (Spain). Player more: Serbia 11 &#8211; 9, Italy 18 &#8211; 8.   <br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serbia: Filipovi\u0107, Mandi\u0107 4, S. Ra\u0161ovi\u0107 4, Randjelovi\u0107, \u0106uk 1, Lazi\u0107 2, N. Jak\u0161i\u0107 1, Vico 2, Dedovi\u0107 1, P. Jak\u0161i\u0107, V. Ra\u0161ovi\u0107 1, Glu\u0161ac, Martinovi\u0107 1, Luki\u0107.    <br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italy: Del Lungo, Cascia, Alessani, Del Basso, Ferrero 3, Di Soma 1, Dolce, Giannaca 1, Jocchi Grata 3, Bruni 1, Condemi 3, De Michelis, Balzarini 1, Antonucci.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serbia defeated Italy in a fantastic way and on Sunday at 20:30 will play against Hungary, with whom they fought in the group and won 15:14.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the depths of a packed Arena, Italy fell 17:13 (5:3, 4:4, 6:3, 2:3). It was Serbia&#8217;s best match at the championship. They showed quality and character, especially after the unfair exclusion of Jak\u0161i\u0107 at the end of the second quarter, which many considered unfair. This angered the Serbian team so much that they filled the Italian net by the end of the match. Jak\u0161i\u0107 will almost certainly not play in the final, and if that happens, there is no need to talk about how big a handicap that will be. By the way, the secured medal is Serbia&#8217;s best result since Barcelona 2018.    <br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serbia was brilliant with the player with more 11 &#8211; 9, flawless with the player with less 18-8. Mandi\u0107 and Ra\u0161ovi\u0107 hit like in training, Glu\u0161ac experienced several ovations from the packed Arena with over 50 percent saves. He had 14 of 26 and De Michelis and Del Lungo had a total of five. After the match, he was declared the best player of the big match.   <br\/><br\/>The Serbian first quarter was excellent. Three times the Italians managed to cancel out the minimal advantage they created with precise shots, twice by Mandi\u0107 and once by Nikola Jak\u0161i\u0107. With a 2:1 lead, the Serbian national team had two more players, but \u0106uk was unsuccessful. Then Vico did everything but hit the crossbar. The defense won duels with the Italians and in the last 90 seconds the reward came. Strahinja Ra\u0161ovi\u0107 and Dedovi\u0107 scored twice more.<br\/> Everything went smoothly in the second quarter, Serbia held a two-three goal lead and it seemed that the game was going completely as expected. Del Lungo was substituted after three minutes. However, a minute before the end, the referees awarded Serbia a five-pointer. Kampanja requested a review and the decision was horrific &#8211; captain Nikola Jak\u0161i\u0107 was sent off with the right to be substituted. Serbia continued without one of its best players and the question is whether it will play on Sunday. In a controversial situation, Jak\u0161i\u0107 reacted to a foul by an Italian player who went unpunished. With two goals to spare but without Jak\u0161i\u0107, Serbia continued its fight for the finals.<br\/> After the break, Serbia continued as if it was complete. Playful Mandi\u0107, then masterful Lazi\u0107 and then Strahinja Ra\u0161ovi\u0107 for 12:7 in the middle of the quarter. Kampanja had no choice, he asked for a timeout to stop the shipwreck. The bulwark guarded the advantage. At the score of 13:9, Stevanovi\u0107 signaled a goal and after watching the video, Strahinja Ra\u0161ovi\u0107 became the scorer 14:9. By the end of the quarter, Vico brought the score to 15:10 with his second goal. It was a quarter with 12 exclusions, Serbia defended brilliantly with Glu\u0161ac in goal. On the other side, Kampanja changed goalkeepers again but there was no salvation. It was also 17:11 in the middle of the last part. The difference does not matter, Serbia will play for gold, for the first time since Barcelona in 2018.              <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serbia &#8211; Italy 17:13 (5:3, 4:4, 6:3, 2:3) Belgrade Arena Pool.
