The Spanish women’s water polo team will fight for fifth place in the World Cups in Budapest, after beating France 5-18 on Thursday.

Neither the early so much of Audrey Daulwhich opened the scoring (1-0) for the French team before the minute of play was over, prevented the clear victory of the Spanish players, who took more than eleven minutes to concede a new goal.

That defensive solvency allowed Spain to acquire a comfortable income of three goals (2-5) that was no more due to the good work of the French goalkeeper Chloe Vidal. To their stops we had to add the commitment of the Spanish internationals to crash again and again with the sticks, which prevented those from Miki Goose leave the dispute resolved at the break (3-6).

A lack of aim that the Spanish team solved, and in what way, in the third quarter, with a resounding 1-5 run that allowed Spain to reach the fourth and final run with a lead of seven goals (4-11).

But not even in this way did the Spanish team relax, hand in hand with the very young Elena Ruiz, Paula Camus and Cristina Nogue managed to overcome the ten goal lead (18-8) by which they beat France in the first phase of the tournament, as reflected in the resounding 5-18 final.

A result that made it clear that those of Miki Goosedespite the setback that meant being separated from the race for the medals after hanging the silver in the last Olympic Games in Tokyo, as well as in the last two World Cups, they will spare no effort to achieve fifth place.
