The two teams had already met in the final round of the group stage on Wednesday, then the Canadians won 13-12, who started better this time as they advanced 2-0 after two and a half minutes of play.
However, Attila Peru’s team preparing for the Tokyo Olympics have been confident ever since, scoring four goals in a row, and the Canadians have only managed to catch one goal twice in a short time.
In the middle of the third quarter, he led the Hungarian national team with five goals, and for a moment his victory was not in danger. In the final match, the Olympic and world champion American team is waiting for the team. The Hungarians recently spent a two-week training camp in California, where they played four matches with the best team in the world, and each time they scored a smooth win.
