The "big four" are once again confirmed among the elite of the world Olympus, confirming the good things seen during the three days of qualifying. Argentina-Portugal (18:30) and Spain-Italy (21:00) will be the two semi-finals that will decide the two finalists who will compete for the title. Spain and Portugal easily passed their quarter-final with a clear result of 13-0 for the former and 15-2 for the second. In these two clashes with many goals, there were three scores by Nadal and Ortigosa on the Spanish side and Oliviera, Caetano and Lemos on the Portuguese side. The other two matches for the quarter-finals were totally different: Argentina won only in the second half, after having been behind 3-1 and recovering the result to 3-3 and with Lopez's winning goal. The match between Italy and Chile was very different, a continuous back and forth, resolved in the second half by two goals from Tomba, after the sparkling 4-4 in the first half.
