He crushed Germany and the National Polo is playing for 5th place

The men’s national polo was easily imposed by Germany with 19-6, in a ranking match of the final phase of the World Cup in Los Angeles, USA.

After this result, the Greek team will claim in the early hours of Monday (3/07, 01:00) the 5th place, probably against Serbia, who plays Romania later.

Although she lined up without her main stalwart, Kostas Kakaris (his place was taken by Manolis Solanakis), and of course without Angelos Vlachopoulos who did not follow the mission to the USA, due to a family problem, the National Team had no problem imposing its superiority.

He kept the Germans scoreless in the first 11 minutes of the match, he took the lead 5-0 and was not threatened at any point. In the second half, in fact, the “scissor” of the difference opened up a lot, with the Greek team constantly looking for the opposition and winning a total of seven penalties, of which they took advantage of five.
