RIO DE JANEIRO -- Hungary goaltender Viktor Nagy held his fingers to his lips, and the crowd responded with a loud round of boos.Brazil was looking to win Group A in the Olympic mens water polo tournament. Australia was hoping to sneak into the quarterfinals. Nagy had other ideas.Nagy made 12 saves, and Hungary beat Brazil 10-6 on Sunday to remain the only unbeaten team in the competition.Thats his standard. When he is in good form, he is the best goalie in the world, Hungary driver Daniel Varga said. I think in the last three games if he shows this performance we got a chance to win (the) Olympic Games.Hungary improved to 2-0-3 for a Group A-best seven points. Spain played to a 9-9 draw with Montenegro earlier in the day and topped Group B with seven points.Hungary and Montenegro will face off in Tuesdays quarterfinals, and Spain will play world champion Serbia. Greece takes on Italy, and Brazil meets Croatia in the most intriguing matchup of the next round. Brazil coach Ratko Rudic guided Croatia to gold at the 2012 London Games.Its not important who it will be in the quarterfinal, Rudic said. Here all the teams are really strong, and we know very well all the teams.Nagy, drawing the ire of the raucous crowd with his animated intensity, helped Hungary get off to a fast start with his focused performance in net. Gustavo Guimaraes penalty shot with 2:04 left in the second was Brazils first goal, but it was 5-1 Hungary at the break.Australia was eliminated with Hungarys win. It finished ninth, followed by the United States, France and Japan.Rhys Howden and John Cotterill each scored three goals to help Australia beat Greece 12-7 in their final group game, and the United States beat Italy 10-7 in its final game in Rio de Janeiro.U.S. captain Tony Azevedo, goaltender Merrill Moses and defender Jesse Smith were pulled with nine seconds left and waved to friends and family in the stands in what might have been the final Olympic appearance for the American mainstays.Australia bounced back nicely from its 10-8 loss to Serbia on Friday, posting its highest scoring game of the tournament. It also was the most goals allowed by Greece, which had already secured a spot in the quarterfinals.Im very proud of the boys today, Howden said. We came out and gave it everything we had.Moses, a three-time Olympian who turned 39 on Saturday, said it was his last game, but Smith and Azevedo were non-committal. Azevedo scored twice against Italy and finished with five goals in his fifth Olympics, a record for USA Water Polo.Right now Im just pretty depressed, said Azevedo, who turns 35 in November. Im going to take off tomorrow, go home, spend all day at the beach first and then go home, and finish my professional career here in Brazil. Ill be back in two weeks, and then Ill decide what Im going to do in the future.Smith, a four-time Olympian, would only say it was the last game of this tournament, but sounded as if he felt this was it.Im really glad we went out on a win, the 33-year-old Smith said. I think its great for the young guys to go on a win so that I think that theyre going to have a great chance in 2020.Azevedo, Moses and Smith helped the U.S. win silver in Beijing, but the team finished eighth in London in 2012 and then flopped in Rio. It lost three of its first four games to lose out on any chance of matching its performance from four years ago.But the Americans managed to put together a strong finish, despite playing without Alex Roelse, Alex Bowen and assistant coach Jack Kocur due to a trio of suspensions coming out of Fridays 8-5 loss to Montenegro. Moses made six saves while playing most of the second half in relief of McQuin Baron, the likely starter for Tokyo.Its unfortunate how the tournament ended up, Moses said. But I know that we gave it our all and I look forward to the bright future of this young team.Also Sunday, France beat Croatia 9-8 for its first victory of the Olympics, and Serbia surged to a 12-8 victory over Japan.Serbia trailed 5-2 after one, but Filip Filipovic scored four of his six goals in the second half as the world champions rallied for their second straight victory.We started bad and we suffered a lot in the first 15 minutes, Serbia driver Andrija Prlainovic said, but again we managed to win.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Hurricanes Jerseys 2021 .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

India 234 for 5 (Ashwin 75*, Rahul 50, Joseph 2-38) v West Indies Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsOn a day when India made questionable selections, one of the managements moves in this series, the promotion of R Ashwin to No. 6, rescued them from 126 for 5. In testing conditions India left out Cheteshwar Pujara and M Vijay in favour of Rohit Sharma, whose inclusion led to a rejigged batting order.While this apparent push for quick runs resulted in a batting failure, West Indies were not behind in making unusual moves. There was more purpose to their attack, after putting India in, than in the first two Tests. But when they should have looked to finish things off, they opted for the patience route, which cut down the runs thanks to a slow outfield. The wickets, though, came only through the batsmens impatience. KL Rahul and Ajinkya Rahane threw away starts with impatient shots, but Ashwin - dropped on 26 and caught off a no-ball on 35 - and Wriddhiman Saha soldiered on to keep India from imploding.Ashwin and Saha, 46 off 122, added an unbeaten 108 for the sixth wicket. Another lower-order contribution was a continuation of a trend for India: on tough pitches in the home season, they recovered from 139 for 6 in Delhi, 125 for 6 in Nagpur, and 102 for 5 in Mohali.The big comeback, though, was that of West Indies in the series. For the first eight days of the series they were pretty much outplayed. Moral victories and psychology can be terms abused in cricket, but the Jamaica draw might have caused damage in Indian heads that might have played a part in leaving them in tatters at tea in St Lucia. West Indies won the toss and utilised the conditions efficiently without being sensational, but India helped them out with their selections.Having survived the Jamaica Test, West Indies mounted a fresh challenge against this unsteady Indian batting line-up - a different top three in each Test - by taking wickets when the pitch was fresh and then choking India out with disciplined bowling. Rahul and Rahane, the only specialist batsmen to reach double figures, helped India recover from 19 for 2 but fell in soft manner just before the two session breaks, Rahane to a full toss to end his slowest Test innings of 10 or more.The second of the wickets was the highlight. Debutant Alzarri Joseph, who impressed with his pace and his bowling mechanics in only his ninth first-class match, nicked out Virat Kohli with the new ball, a promotion in the order because of the selection of Rohit. West Indies resistance and the resultant draw in Jamaica led to three changes for India, two of them expected, Ravindra Jadeja and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in for Amit Mishra and Umesh Yadav.The batting selections were instructive. At the toss, Kohli, who would have batted if he had won the toss anyway, emphasised that Rohit can change a match in a session. Both Vijay, who was fit after missing the Jamaica Test, and Pujara are reputed to be slower scorers. Turns out India might have misread the pitch or underestimated the attack: the situation asked for the patience of Vijay and Pujara. Moreover, Kohli and Rahane had to give up their familiar batting positions.West Indies were more aggressive to begin with. They added Joseph to the attack, and peppered India with short deliveries. The moisture in the pitch gave them spongy bounce when they pitched short, and some seam movement when they pitched it up. Shikhar Dhawan wasted little time in falling to a short ball, tickling Shannonn Gabriel down the leg side.ddddddddddddKohli walked in at No. 3, but the fresh pitch with the new seaming ball was not suited for his style of play: soon he shaped up to cut a Joseph delivery that was neither short nor wide, neither full nor close enough to him. Kohli was eventually done in by the extra bounce, but playing such deliveries you get away on pitches like the one in Antigua or against the old ball. A bit of a repeat of his England dismissals brought in Indias most reliable batsman, Rahane.It was Rahul who weathered most of the initial storm. After an ordinary start - missing five of the first 11 balls he played at - he punished every error in length. Every time West Indies overpitched, Rahul drove hard, even in the air. Short and wide deliveries were cut away. It didnt matter that the good ones in between kept beating him. On a day that the rest of the team scored 169 runs, Rahul took 50 off only 65 balls. Having done the hard work, Rahul fell 18 minutes before lunch, trying to whip a shortish delivery from Roston Chase straight to the man who had just moved to short fine leg.West Indies came back attacking in the second session. Soon Rohit fell in typical manner, pushing defensively at a Joseph outswinger a set of stumps outside off. After that wicket, though, perhaps because the pitch had settled down, West Indies began to test Indias patience. It worked: minutes before tea, Rahane, seeing release in a Chase full toss, swept down the wrong line and was bowled for 35 off 133. That didnt result in taking off the part-time spin of Kraigg Brathwaite.The middle session produced just 43 runs for two wickets, and instead of going for the wickets of the lesser batsmen West Indies began with Jason Holder and Chase in the final session. On another day, persisting with these tactics might have worked but West Indies made two crucial mistakes. When Ashwin left the crease in impatience, inside-edging Chase, Leon Johnson missed him at short leg. When West Indies looked to break the monotony, Gabriel bowled a short ball from round the wicket for a catch at point, it turned out he had cut the return crease with his back foot.Other than that, Ashwin and Saha showed remarkable patience. Because of the slow outfield West Indies could have a stacked field. Chase often bowled with a six-three leg-side field, leaving point open and bowling into the pads. Any scoring was now fraught with risk, and if he dropped the ball short the slow outfield cost him just the one run. India were in no state to take risks so the two batsmen put their head down, and kept picking whatever singles or twos were on offer.Between the fall of Rahul and the claiming of the second new ball, only 111 runs came in 61.3 overs. Against the new ball, having done the hard work, the two batsmen chanced their arms. An edge fell short here, another flew over slips there; a crisp drive was misfielded now, a bowler bowled a loose ball there, and India had 46 in the last nine overs to wrest the initiative a bit. India dropped solid batsmen for quick runs when they should have been weathering the new ball out, then they were forced to bat slowly when they should have been capitalising on the older ball and tired fielders, and finally the lesson of building long Test innings was delivered by the lower order whose first role in the team is not batting.
