Croatia won the gold medal in the World Championships men's water polo final for the first time after an extra time 9-8 victory over twice champions Hungary in Melbourne on Sunday.
Two goals during the extra period from Pavo Markovic proved the key for the Croatians, who celebrated their first title in a major championship.
The match was tied at 7-7 at the final whistle, and the two extra three-minute periods proved as fiercely contested as normal time.
Markovic gave the Croatians an 8-7 lead with a long-range throw from outside the five-metre box.
Gergely Kiss equalised with just 11 seconds of the first period remaining, before Markovic made the decisive blow with another effort from distance with 90 seconds remaining.
Hungary took the silver medal again after also losing the 2005 final. Earlier, Spain secured the bronze medal after beating former champions Serbia 18-17 in a penalty shoot-out.
