The women’s national polo team experienced its third consecutive defeat at the Olympic Games in Paris, as it “surrendered” to the Italian team with a score of 12-8. Now, her back is against the wall, for her qualification to the quarterfinals. In order to have hope, France must not beat the USA in the last match of the tournament, while the “blue and white” on Sunday must beat the hosts with a clean score (not on penalties). In this case there will be a three-way tie (Greece, France, Italy) and the differences between the matches will count.
