The first half ended with a Croatian preponderance of 8-13, and Bahrain continued without points, in sixth and last place in the table, while Croatia raised its score to 5 points, and strengthened its position in the competition struggle to qualify for the next round.
With this loss, Bahrain became outside the competition for the summit and the semi-official prescription.
Croatia did not face a crisis in deciding the score in light of the weakness of the Bahraini attack, which made it easier for the Croatian goalkeeper Marin Shijo, who won the man of the match title after blocking more than 8 Bahraini corrections.
In the same group, Argentina defeated Japan 28-24 to raise Argentina’s score to 4 points, and keep its hopes for competition.
In Group A, Hungary defeated Brazil 28-20, to collect two precious points, raising its score to 6 points in the top spot, and continuing to advance towards winning the transit visa to the quarter-finals.
Poland defeated Uruguay 30-16 to raise its score to 4 points, and maintain its hopes of competing for the top or runners-up of the group.
