He escaped the Neck unscathed and is a breath away from him Olympiacos’ eleventh title in a row and 37th in total!
With Yannis Fundoulis as the main protagonist and Dino Gennidounias as a supporter, the “red and white” prevailed 11-9 her Vouliagmeni in the second final of A1 men’s polo and made it 2-0 in the series.

The “red and white” took control of the score for the first time with a goal by Vamos for 5-4, while Fundoulis sent them to +2 (4-6) for the first time just before halftime.
After six minutes without a goal in the third eight minutes and two more lost for NOV, Kastrinakis reduced it to 6-5, while Alifragkis tied it at 6-6 a minute later, giving new interest to the match. Olympiacos broke the deadlock with a well-timed Foudoulis penalty to make it 7-6, but Kalogeropoulos responded immediately to make it 7-7, which was the score at the end of the third quarter.
Tzortzatos rolled in the first two minutes of the last period, but Fundoulis managed to beat him and gave the “red and whites” an 8-7 lead again. Vouliagmeni appeared to be running out of strength and Olympiacos escaped to +3 (10-7) with two goals by Gennidounias four and a half minutes before the final, with Papasifakis reducing the score to 10-8.
