Vouliagmeni drew 9-9 with Radniski in Kragujevac in the opener of this year’s men’s Polo Champions League groups and picked up an important point in their bid to reach the last eight of Europe’s premier club competition.
The big star of the “babies” was Nikos Papasifakis with 5 goals.
NOV took the lead through Troulos, but had problems moving the ball and hasty options on the player above until halftime was over. Thus, the Serbs, while missing a penalty at the start, found a rhythm and, with a 5-0 run, reached 5-1.
In the third period, Kalogeropoulos made it 5-2 and there Papasifakis with three consecutive goals in three minutes equalized 5-5. The hosts “blocked” aggressively and Kalogeropoulos made it 5-6 at the end of the third eight minutes.
At the start of the fourth period, Radulovic and Vrlic led 7-6. Nikolaidis equaled the above, but Jankovic and Plievancic made it 9-7. There, however, Papasifakis took action and with two goals in 40 minutes made it 9-9. Vouliagmeni held on in defense and, in fact, Chalivopoulos’ shot in the last attack was off target.
