What happened
–

It will end up on penalties after 9-9 of the regulatory times, 12-10 for the Varga team. In the subsequent game with Spain, for the placements of consolation, the blatant protest of the Azzurri: shoulders to the jury during the anthem, Condmi wins the sprint for the first possession, Campaign calls Time-Out and replaces the attacker without making him return more, then Di Fulvio is extraneous from the actions for 4 ‘, simulating the numerical inferiority that had been inflicted in the previous match. A symbolic message interpreted as a lack of sportiness by the Fina/World Aquatics.
