Champions League - Spandau water polo players eliminated
The German water polo record champions Spandau 04 have missed out on the quarter-finals of the Champions League. On Tuesday afternoon, the Berliners lost their away match on the last matchday of the main round of Group D at the previously point-less Greek runners-up Vouliagmeni NC by 6:10 (0:5, 3:1, 2:2, 2:1). The team thus missed out on second place in the four-team group, which would have meant progression.
The game was already decided after the opening quarter, when the hosts were 5:0 up. The increase after that did not turn the game around. Spandau closed the gap to 5:6 at the start of the third period, but then the Greeks pulled away again.
