A busy day 6 of the men's world youth championships in Istanbul was marked by heavy rains that even caused some delay and cancellation of one match as Spain and Canada were forced to move elsewhere to play their crossover match for quarter-final qualification, eventually won by Spain 10-6. Good news was to be welcomed by the home fans though as Turkey prevailed in a high-scoring encounter against Japan to win 14-15 and advance to the quarter-finals where group A winners Hungary await. In the other crossover matches it was Croatia who edged USA thanks to a better first half eventually finishing on top 6-8 while Italy was the final side to join the quarterfinalists beating Australia 3-9 in Thursday's last match. The early session saw the bottom half of the tournament compete. Kazakhstan kicked off the action by topping Peru 11-8 and then Argentna won a close game over South Africa 7-6 to remain in the run for a nice classification. The day's third match-up was also a rather close one as Egypt and New Zealand were tied 13-13 after regulation and the penalty shoot-out saw the Egyptians winning 5-4 for the 18-17 final score. They will now Friday face Brazil who convincingly got past Iran 4-12. In the championships quarter-finals on Friday Hungary faces hosts Turkey, Montenegro takes on Spain while group C winners Russia meet Croatia for a spot in the semis. And finally Serbia battles Italy to complete the semi-finalists Friday night.
