Hungarian girls win silver medal in Water Polo Euroliga
Change language:
UVSE gave it everything in their Euroliga final on Sunday but hosts CN Sabadell were just a little bit better, as reflected in the 11-8 result which meant the Hungarian club finished runners-up.
Watched again live by Hungarian Water Polo Association President Dénes Kemény and women’s national team coach Attila Bíró, UVSE put up a great show in a tight Euroliga final against hosts CN Sabadell of Spain but just fell short in their aim of being the first Hungarian club to become champions of Europe since Szentes in 1993.
András Hertzka’s team started superbly and led Sabadell three times in the first quarter, in part thanks to two goals from Gabriella Szücs, but the Spanish club weren’t favourites for no reason and they recovered each time, even taking a two-goal advantage into the second quarter. Rita Keszthelyi pulled a goal back for Újpest but the home defence had been successful in neutralising centre Ildikó Tóth and a player advantage was also spurned as parity remained elusive.
