Match 87. ITA 14 ESP 17 in penalty shootout: FT: 13-13. Pens: 1-4. (4-3, 4-2, 3-4, 2-4)
This was always going to be close and to go to a shootout was no surprise. After all, these are the quarterfinals. ESP was keen to maintain its previous team’s spectacular gold-medal status from Gzira, Malta in 2024. ITA was the beaten finalist then, so it was a virtual rematch of two years ago, but in the quarters. Goals were traded twice at the start with both teams having the lead. Filippo Gori brought the match ITA’s way and Francesco Putrino converted extra for 4-1. Samu Diaz replied on extra for 4-3 at the first break. Putrino and Diaz swapped at the top of the second quarter with Putrino leading a two-goal surge for 7-4. Adri Lopez responded but Federico Masetti returned the three-goal advantage to ITA at 1:34. Mario Filippi converted a penalty foul and ITA was four up. There were two more trades for 11-7. Play changed a little when Rafael Luengo and Unai Arrate converted extra plays for 11-9 at the final break. Johnny Shinske, so much in the goals this week, narrowed it to one at 5:38 on action. Lopez levelled at 3:32 from the top and an ITA timeout could not arrest the slide as Arrate converted extra at 2:21 for 12-11. Masetti scored from centre forward for 12-12 at 0:59. An ESP timeout set the scene for Lopez to score off a six-metre, free-throw shot at 0:44 and, crucially, the 13-12 advantage. At 0:17, ESP’s guard slipped as Gabriele Rumolo scored from two metres to force the shootout. ESP led the shooting and scored its first two and ITA hit the right upright; ESP scored; ITA hit the left post and Diaz scored to win the match with a 4-1 shootout.

Lopez and Arrate gained three goals each for ESP and the goalkeepers were strong, stopping 11 with Alex Vilar making an incredible nine stops in three periods of play. Putrino nabbed four goals and Masetti three as seven made the sheet.

Match 89. BRA 7 SRB 11 (1-3, 2-2, 1-2, 3-4)

It also finished 11th in 2022. Maksim Kreckovic scored SRB’s first two goals as the margin stretched to 3-1 through a Blagoje Lale penalty conversion.
