The U.S. national water polo team will face Serbia on Friday for a spot in the gold medal game at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Team USA secured its ticket to the semifinals for the first time since 2008 with a thrilling 11-10 win over Australia. Alex Bowen and Hannes Daube each scored two goals in regular time, and goalkeeper Adrian Weinberg saved two crucial shots in the penalty shootout.
Serbia, meanwhile, is coming off a thrilling win, a 12-11 thriller against Greece that ended with a last-minute goal from Nikola Jaksic. The Serbs are looking to become only the third men’s water polo team in Olympic history to win three gold medals in a row, after Great Britain and Hungary.
