Hungary were the first team to book their place in Sunday’s gold medal game after a defensive masterclass and some clinical man-up finishing saw them sweep Greece aside. The Greeks started brightly, leading 3-1 in the opening minutes, but the Magyars successfully shut down their rivals’ attack, while firing in eight of their nine shots on extra to help seal a memorable victory.
