It was like

déjà vu

.

Like going back nine years.

So the setting was the London swimming pool.

Also semifinals of an Olympic Games.

Also against Hungary.

The Spanish also won.

And also the United States team was waiting in the final.

Everything repeats itself.

In the final on Saturday await the usual, the favorites, the Americans, who have passed over the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) in the other semifinal.

But the Spanish women's water polo team this time is not satisfied with the silver it won in London 2012.

At the Tatsumi Aquatic Center, the girls led by

Miki Oca

had fun today.

Always ahead of the Hungarians on the scoreboard throughout the game.

They didn't concede a single goal until the middle of the second quarter.

A defensive wall.

And the goalkeeper,

Laura Ester

, stopped everything.

Stretching the arm and putting the left or right palm to the square.

The Catalan from CN Sabadell held her team under control when Hungary dominated.

The heads-up that brings out the Hungarian star,

Rita Keszthelyi

, is worth seeing in a repeated loop

.

Three goals from the youngest

But Spain has beaten Hungary 8-6 because another Catalan,

Anni Espar

, has led the attack, stolen the ball in defense and scored three goals.

In the last one he released his arm so that the ball bounced in the center of the target before getting into the goal, misleading the Hungarian goalkeeper.

Nor should we forget the youngest of the group, the girl of the national team,

Elena Ruiz

(16 years old).

Rubí's did another

hat-trick

.

He is being the surprise in a tournament where he debuted with five goals against South Africa.

The "Guerreras del Agua" have already secured a new metal for the Spanish delegation.

They have an impeccable championship in which they passed over the Chinese in the quarterfinals (11-7), and swept South Africa (29-4) and Australia (15-9) by a landslide, and with solvency Canada (14-10) .

The only puncture was against the Netherlands (13-14).
