Hungary applied all its power and shooting prowess to bow out with seventh place, well down on the victory in Montreal four years ago and fourth in Melbourne. Spain dropped a position from Melbourne. Spain opened the scoring to lead 2-0 but Hungary scored nine of the next 11 goals, leading 4-3 and
7-4 at the breaks. The game advanced to 9-4 before GIL arrested the slide.
However, PELLE and DRAVUCZ scored either side of the last break and PENA closed the scoring at 4:35 with both teams playing pressure defence. Hungary promised much in this tournament but could not produce at the right time.
