The Hungarian national male water polo team continues to lead its European qualifying group with a 100 per cent performance in the world league after defeating Romania in Bucharest by nine goals on Tuesday.
The Hungarian national team won confidently with a result of 14-5 and, with its fifteen points collected over five matches, continues to lead the group, also including Greece and Slovakia. The group’s closing match will be held on 14 April against Greece in Hungary.
