WORLD YOUTH WATER POLO CHAMPIONSHIPS: Perth 2012, Day 2 (Men): Perpetual scorer Rustamov tallies 15 goals for Uzbekistan


Russell McKinnon, FINA Press Commission Membe

December 2, 2012 PERTH - POLO AIR INDONESIA- For a team to score 15 goals in a match is a good result, although Uzbek Kirill Rustamov scored that number on his own as his Uzbekistan team beat Trinidad & Tobago 19-16 in a Group C game at the 1st FINA World Youth Water Polo Championships at the Challenge Stadium. Rustamov scored six goals in each of the middle two quarters and finished with two in the final period to go with his meager first-quarter strike. He scored them from everywhere, but particularly deadly from outside. He also showed his prowess in the centre-forward position.

He will be a marked man in upcoming encounters but said after the match: “It was very, very hard because we came just yesterday and had 32 hours with no sleep. We had just one training session, so it’s been very hard.” What did he think of his 15 goals? “It’s good but we are a good side with lots of good players and a good future.”
In the other Group C game, Romania toppled first-day winner Iran 11-4. In Group A, the United States and Hungary did battle in the final clash of the day, with Hungary needing two late goals to win 10-9. Szilard Jansik netted five goals for Hungary. Group B played early and Croatia cruised over South Africa 25-1 and New Zealand needed a late goal to down Colombia 11-10. Group D presented few problems for the big two with Serbia crushing Kazakhstan 20-1 and Italy dispensing with Brazil 17-7.
