The Spanish selection water polo champion, reigning world champion, easily overtook Canada (13-6) in the quarter-finals of world league which takes place in Strasbourg (France) and will face Italy in the semi-finals after signing a tournament without defeat.
For now, nobody can with spain. Only Montenegro, in the last match of the group stage, stood up to David Martín’s men, who needed penalties to get rid of the Balkans on Sunday.
Less than 24 hours after that victory, their next victim in the World League was Canada. Spain maintained a firm step towards its first gold medal in history (accumulating three silver medals and one bronze). On this occasion, his rival endured the attraction until the break.
So far, Canada has managed to keep ahead on the scoreboard. He won 5-4 even though he still had half the duel ahead of him. However, he didn’t hold up. He collapsed in the third quarter with a partial 9-1 against and the last period was a march for the team of David Martín, who, without pressure, signed a 0-0 that left the final score at 13-6 with which they demonstrated their superiority.
From now on, he will play against Italy a duel which will repeat the final of the last World Cup. Not even a month ago, exactly on July 3, the two teams met in Budapest. Spain, with much suffering, won on penalties after shooting (14-14) a duel for history. If he wants to reach the World League final, he will surely have to suffer.
