The Greek women’s water polo team used a strong final quarter to pull away from defending world champions the United States and book a place in the final of the 22nd World Aquatics Championships being held in Singapore.
The 14-10 victory over the US, winners of five of the past six world championships and three of the past four Olympics was hard-earned, with the US leading early and also twice in the third quarter.
The game was still close (10-9) in the final period, when Greece went on a 4-0 run to clinch the game.
They will play Hungary, 15-9 winners over reigning Olympic champions Spain, on Wednesday.
