The reigning Olympic gold medallists shrugged off the USA in a superb
performance, winning 11-6.
After a shaky start to the London 2012 Games - with two
defeats and two wins - the nine-time gold medallists looked back to their best
with a ruthless win over the Beijing 2008 runners-up.
The victory puts the Hungarians ahead of the USA in Group B.
Their defensive display stopped their opponents finding the
back of the net, while at the other end their accuracy and efficiency in front
of goal was merciless.
Norbert Hosnyanszky blasted a hat-trick for the Hungarians,
while captain Peter Biros netted two.
Adam Steinmetz, Norbert Madaras, Tamas Varga, Marton Szivos,
Gergely Kiss and Tamas Kasas scored one apiece.
Elsewhere, Serbia

to win their group.
They hardly needed to get out of second gear as they brushed
aside their opponents 12-4 to remain unbeaten in the competition.
The Beijing 2008 bronze medallists and European champions

In the first game of the day, centre forward Niksa Dobud scored

12-4 to maintain their 100 per cent record.

matches sends a strong message to their rivals.
