The end of the game was very interesting. Trailing 9-9, the Greeks took the lead with a shot from an acute angle by Skumpakis. The Montenegrins could have equalized, but despite the fact that they managed to carry out the attack well, Berković’s shot hit the crossbar.
The Italy vs Serbia match was more interesting. Four quarters later, the score was 11-11, so the five-meter players followed suit. The Serbs were more nervous in this duel and climbed into the top four with a score of 4-3.
Thus, in one of the semi-finals, a match will take place between Greece and Serbia.
