For the Greeks, Angelopoulos stood out with 3 and Pacillinakos with 2 goals. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The young water polo players of Greece opened the match much better. The Greeks quickly took a 3:0 lead, Serbia reduced the deficit with a goal by Uro\u0161 Rahpejma, and at the end of the first period the referees awarded 3 penalties to Greece, 2 of which were converted, so that the first break was led by Hellas 5:1. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the beginning of the second quarter, Zeli\u0107 scored a goal for 5:2, but Zuzidis brought the Greeks back to +4 in the very next attack. By halftime, the Greeks scored 4 more goals, three of which were scored by Angelopoulos, and two by the Serbs, through Mun\u0107an and Drobnjakovi\u0107, so the score went into the break at 10:4. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/waterpoloserbia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/&#x413;&#x440;&#x447;&#x43A;&#x430;-&#x421;&#x440;&#x431;&#x438;&#x458;&#x430;-&#x423;18-&#x424;&#x41E;&#x422;&#x41E;-World-Aquatics-1024x539.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7051\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PHOTO: World Aquatics<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the first two quarters, the Greeks had better goal conversion \u2014 Greece 6\/3, Serbia 7\/2 \u2014 as well as a better shooting percentage, Greece 47%, Serbia 26%.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the third quarter, better defense by the Serbian youth and two goals by Milan Zeli\u0107 brought our national team to an acceptable 4-goal deficit, with the hope that a complete turnaround can be achieved in the final period.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, the last quarter began with goals from the Greeks. Leonidakis scored for 11:6, and Levantis for 12:6. Our young national team players responded in kind \u2014 Vasiljevi\u0107 for 12:7 and Ne\u0161kovi\u0107 for 12:8 \u2014 but it was too late for something more than a defeat. The final score of 13:8 was set by Deligianis, with a goal in the attack with a player more.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Greece \u2013 Serbia 13:8 (5:1, 5:3, 0:2, 3:2)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GREECE:<\/strong> Berdes, Levantis 1, Angelopoulos 3, Leonidakis 1, Lampatos 1, Chatzis 1, Motsias 1, Pacilinakos 2, Bitsakos, Saros, Zouzounis 1, Damigos, Deligianis, Mantsouridis.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SERBIA:<\/strong> Kosanovic, Vojinovic, Neskovic 1, Drobnjakovic 1, Bistrovic, Zelic 3, Rahpejma 1, Vasiljevic 1, Pavlovic, Papic, Peles, Djordjevic, Gosic, Muncan 1, Kreckovic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Serbian youth water polo team, players under 18, won 6th place at the World Championship in Portugal.
