HUNGARY-CROATIA 15:6 (6:3, 3:1, 4:1, 2:1)

It was wp magic yesterday at Margitsziget, in front of over 4000 spectaculars. "The game was decided at the beginning when we scored 1-2 nice goals, and Croatians got dejected." (Denes Kemeny); "We didn't play well, nothing worked. My young team could not keep up with the always goal-dangerous Hungarians, I guess that was predictable." (Ratko Rudic)... This is how the two trainer giants so the game.

At firts it seemed like the two teams will go head-by-head. Tamas Molnar scoring a nice into the long corner from an impossible angle, Dobud scoring in man-up, Gergely Kiss's shot dancing in from the goalie's hand, Karac in penalty (2:2), Tibor Benedek's overshot (3:2), Gabor Kis's shot waves through the goal-line (4:2), Gergely Kiss scoring (5:2). Buljubasic scoring in man-up (5:3). Norber Madaras decides to shot (6:3).

After that there was no stop: Peter Piros, Gergely Kiss, Rajmund Fodor (skipping out of the hammer of the Croatian center... nice center goal), Tibor Benedek bombastic goal, a very well played and Buslje scores (12:5). Hungarian man-up, Marton Szivos scores, than a long beat, Hungary gets penalty... Gergely Kiss did it right:) (14:5). Pretty nice shot and score from Dobud - from the water, his back to the post. And the last, but not least, nice half twist from Gabor Kis (15:6).

Than it was 4,000 people cheering and chanting for Hungary... "This is our Team!"
