Australia upset Greece 13-8 helped by three goals from Rhys Howden to reach
the quarterfinals of men’s water polo at the London Olympics.
Needing a win to advance to the knockout stage, Australia used a five-goal
second quarter to grab an 8-5 lead by halftime, then scored the first three
goals after the break to extend it to 11-5.
Greece, which needed only a draw to advance, never recovered.
The win puts Australia through to the quarterfinals as the fourth seed out of
Group A. It will play the winner of Group B in the knockout stage.
With the loss, Greece falls to fifth in Group A and is eliminated from the
tournament.
