Italy secured their place at the top of Group A by defeating Colombia, the stakes in the Hungary-Canada match were second and they avoided the Netherlands in the round of 16.
About three minutes into the match, the first goal was scored, followed immediately by the second – fortunately, both goals were scored by the Hungarian team, to the satisfaction of the large fan base that cheered them on. With the double-man advantage, the Canadians overcame their deficit by one goal, at the end of the first quarter the score was 2-1. The next eight minutes brought in plenty of inaccurate passes, defenses, and excessive attacks, and three goals each, so Hungary’s one-goal advantage remained mid-match. (5-4)
The third can be simply called the Keszthelyi district. The captain flashed three times, and Szilágyi scored too – there weren’t many open questions at the end, with the Attila Bíró girls already leading 9-4. Thus, our team can afford to lose the last quarter 3-2. Our women’s national team won the match 11-7, thus finishing second in Group A. The team will continue to face Argentina in the round of 16, while Canada faces a more difficult match, and the Netherlands. This time we “chose” the easiest way.
