MATCH STATS

Down one and coming out of a timeout with 10 seconds remaining, Greece pulled its goalkeeper to try to get an extra-man advantage to tie the score. But the second pass of the possession was stolen by Croatia and the clock ran out as Greece suffered its first loss in Paris.

With the win, Croatia (3-1) moved ahead of Greece (3-1) to the top of the Group A standings.

The two teams tied seven times in the match and traded the lead four times. Greece led, 6-4, at the half, and Croatia responded with seven goals in the third, going into the final frame up, 11-9.

Greece tied the score for the final time when Efstathios Kalogeropoulos scored with an extra player and knotted it up at 12-12 with four minutes remaining. A minute later, Croatia's Konstantin Kharkov scored the eventual game-winner, and added another goal sixty second later. Greece's Angelos Vlachopoulos scored the final goal with 1:14 left on the clock, but he was also the one who committed the turnover in the final seconds.

Vlachopoulos also missed a penalty shot in the third quarter, and teammate Ioannis Fountoulis missed one in the third. 

Vlachopoulos, Fountoulis, Kalogeropoulos, Alexandros Papanastasiou, and Stylianos Argyropoulos all had two goals for Greece. Kharkov led all scorers with four goals. Loren Fatovic and Jerko Marinic Kragic added three goals each for Croatia.

Following Australia's final goal, Hungary swam down the pool and got an exclusion for an extra player opportunity with 25 seconds remaining. The final shot was blocked by Australian defenders and just stayed out of the goal for the Aussie win. 

Until the final goal, the two teams had tied four times and traded the lead four times. 

Saturday was the fourth straight game Australia has held an opponent to fewer than 10 goals. The Aussies have allowed the fewest goals of any team in Paris, giving up an average of seven goals per game. Keeper Nic Porter had eight saves.
