Montenegro start water polo Olympic qualification campaign with emphatic win

Monday, 15 February 2021
Rio 2016 semi-finalists Montenegro have started their Men's Water Polo Olympic Qualification Tournament with a big victory over Canada on day two of competition in Rotterdam in The Netherlands.
The win never looked in doubt for the favourites in Group A, who thrashed their opponents 21-7.
By half-time, Montenegro had a 13-4 lead and were helped tremendously by Aleksandar Ivovic and Dusan Matkovic, who both scored five goals each.
Montenegro were supposed to start their campaign yesterday, but their match against Turkey was scrapped following their opponents' disqualification for a large COVID-19 outbreak in the team.
It was reported that five players tested positive for COVID-19, more than the three that could trigger expulsion from the tournament.
