LONDON (AP) -- Norbert Madaras scored five goals and Hungary pulled away in the second half to beat Romania 17-15 and pick up its first men's water polo victory at the London Olympics.
The win Thursday was a big one for the three-time defending Olympic champions, coming after losses in their first two matches at the games, to Serbia and Montenegro.
Norbert Hosnyanszky and captain Peter Biros scored three goals apiece for Hungary, which earned two points in Group B with the win to keep alive its chances of advancing to the quarterfinals.
Romania is even with Hungary with two points, three points behind group-leader Serbia.
