Greece finally won a medal - the Hellenes will remember Belgrade fondly

This time we saw fewer goals, but Greece was once again the better team. Kalogeropoulos stepped up, causing serious problems for the Italian goalkeeper. Although goalkeepers on both sides performed at a higher level than in the first period—particularly De Lungo—Zerdevas was simply unbeatable, conceding just one goal, and that with three seconds remaining. Italy had no solution for Greece’s play, as the Greeks continued to score through man-advantage situations.
