The program of the first competitive day was opened by a match between the national teams of Hungary and Australia.
To the first break the teams carried out five productive attacks, and overweight in one ball was on the account of Australians.
Water polo players from Eastern Europe managed to restore status quo at the beginning of the second period, however, their diligence were nullified right there by counterattack of competitors — 3:4. After that the starting impact of the national team of Australia ceased a little, and the game took place on counter courses. The excessive tranquility of Australians could lead to a capture of gate twice, but their defense and the goalkeeper played reliably. It should be noted; sportswomen of both teams with advantage for themselves used temporary calm, in the end of a game piece having exchanged goal attacks to gate. The whistle of the referee stopped game time at the score 4:5 in favor of water polo players in yellow-green bathing suits.
The national team of Hungary, as well as in the previous period, began the third eight-minute with a siege of gate of Australia. As on trouble, the referee excluded one of defender that helped the Hungarian water polo players to level a difference of the thrown goals again. Once their competitors got a ball, it once again was in a net of Hungarian Edina Gangl — 5:6. To trainer’s staff of the national team of Hungary will be about what to think after a match as each counterattack of Australians was dangerous.
Hungary started rendering again a serious impact on opposite gate, over and over again loading with work the protective line and the goalkeeper of the national team of Australia. Probably, in a break the trainer introduced some amendments in the plan for the game or may be his wards began to throw more often then. The quantity turns sooner or later into quality, and to a break Hungarians managed to throw two answerless balls — 7:6.
Such situation in any way didn’t suit the national team of Australia which sufficed one minute on start of the fourth period to break the meeting account in own favor. Both goal throws were similar as twin brothers and passed on a diagonal under the right crossbar of the gate — 7:8. The Hungarian water polo players, contrary to expectations, gradually gave an initiative to competitors, and rare attacks of gate had no already such sharpness and the greenish-yellow immediately used it. Two faster goal attacks of Australians took all questions off the table showing the winner in a match. The total account — 7:10 — and the first three tournament points go to a saving box of the national team of Australia.
From the second match of the first game day between the national teams of the USA and the Republic of South Africa it was hardly worth waiting for any intrigue. It was too different level at champions of the London Olympic Games and owners of an honorable 18th place in a world rating of the FINA. The master class from «star-spangled» began, once the referee created pressure in a whistle. Americans put pressure on all sites of a platform and practically deprived of South Africans of access to a ball. In one and a half minutes of the first period the account was opened by Kameryn Craig, shot from a near distance of the goalkeeper of the Republic of South Africa. In few minutes Alice Williams differed. The third answerless goal in Cortney Mathewson’s personal offset. After the timeout appointed at the request of the coach of South African national team, his wards tried to organize a positional attack, but their trying to make the accented throw was in vain. Americans counterattacked, but the goalkeeper Rebecca Thomas rescued command from defeat in the first period.
On the second minute of the second period the South African water polo player too rigidly defended, for this reason she was excluded from a platform. No more than 20 seconds was needed the Americans to score a next goal. Then Kameryn Craig and Rachael Fattal issued on a double, having finished the account to 6:0. In an ending of a game piece the seventh goal was thrown by Melissa Seiemann, having powerfully punched a bottom. One more double was issued by Mathewson.
By the beginning of the third period the account on a scoreboard of representatives of South Africa remained zero, but Americans continued to increase advantage.
The overseas national team played excellent transfers over and over again, without allowing having a rest the goalkeeper of competitors. On the third minute of the third period the Africans take a timeout and, having listened to manuals of the trainer, strain to be in action. But couple of dangerous moments at gate of opponents poured out only in a throw in a crossbar.
The fourth period began with attacks of the Americans, but having intercepted a ball, the African sportswomen at last sent it precisely to the purpose – 15:1. Triumph was short, literally in some seconds the national team of the USA increases again the advantage, already to 16 scores. At the end of a final time span the team in yellow-green bathing suits takes the next timeout, but it doesn’t bring results. It seemed that at the goalkeeper «star-spangled» Ashleigh Johnson is developed immunity to attacks of the opponent, and the goal scored by southerners, and remains only in this game – 18:1.
The third duel of the first competitive day inflamed between representatives of teams of Spain and Singapore.
Alignment of forces, as well as in the previous game, was difficult to call equal. The sportswomen who don’t have awards of the international competitions were opposed to the acting world champions. The fighting spirit of Singaporeans on the first minute addressed for them as the violation of the rules, and their opponents used it having had a penalty opportunity, thereby having opened the account to the goals. Having caught spirit, Spanish national team sent to Eunice Karina Fu Yu Min’s gate two balls in a row. But the Singapore girls didn’t even think to give up, and after the combination done with the greatest ease, Linnet Jane Tang Hui Ing sends a ball directly into the gate of competitors. Active actions of the Singapore sportswomen often were followed by a prefix «too much», that’s why the team received the second for the first period punishment.
Only a minute later after the whistle meaning the beginning of the second eight-minute, the Spanish team already managed to be marked out by the thrown ball, and literally in some seconds Helena Gomez Loret has increased advantage of the team to 9 balls. The 10th goal into the account was written down by Matilda Ortez, having powerfully punched the goalkeeper of competitors. Rare sorties of Singaporeans on a side of the opponent didn’t bring any result as it was showed on a scoreboard after the second siren on a break – 15:1.
The third time span, as it was expected, passed from dictation of Spanish national team which only increased the advantage over and over again without making for this purpose special effort. Having collected will in a fist, Singaporeans managed to win back only one ball, having scored it into the gate of Maria Elena Sanchez Gonsalez in a final time span. The Spanish team, in turn, could oppose to competitors 34 goals – 34:2, the result as a consequence.
