Led by Stelios Argyropoulos and Kostas Genidunias, the men’s national polo team scored an impressive 25:6 (8:1, 6:2, 4:1, 7:2) victory over Malta in Group B΄ at the European Championships held in Split, Croatia. The next opponent of our teams will be the representative group of the host country. Both teams will meet tomorrow (21:30) and this game will determine the first place in the group.

From the very beginning of the match, the Greek players, as expected, showed that they would dominate the game. Already from the first eight minutes they led 8:1. With an amazing defense, they did not allow the Maltese to easily break through to the gate. Characteristically, the team’s opponent could not score more than two goals in any of the three eight-minute periods.

“In this game, we needed goal difference so that in the event of a draw we could use it for first place in the group. We have played many times against Croatia, but the peculiarity of this match is that they are playing at home, in a European tournament in which they have invested a lot and want to stand out. Of course, the “seats” do not play. If we are not influenced by other factors, we will achieve our goals,” Thodoris Vlachos told K.

The women’s team will play against Germany today (11.00).
