Greece fought past traditional powerhouse Hungary 9-6 to reach the final of the Olympic men's water polo competition at Tatsumi Water Polo Centre on Friday, keeping the dream of winning their first gold medal alive.
The Greek team, ranked second in the world and playing at their 16th Games, have never finished on the podium in water polo before, but are now guaranteed at least silver in Tokyo.
The Hungarians, the most successful team at the Olympics with nine gold medals and 15 overall, will fight it out with the loser of that semi-final for the bronze medal. Centre forward Stylianos Argyropoulos Kanakakis led the Greeks with four goals, while their defence combined well to nullify the threat of Hungary's Krisztian Manhercz, restricting the in-form wing to two goals from five attempts.
