BUDAPEST, June 23 -- Montenegro claimed the title in the men's water polo World League Super Final, beating the host Hungarian team by 13-11 in penalty shootout here on Saturday.

In front of some 4,000 home fans who backed the Hungarian team that led for the greater part of the game but could not hold out until the end, the final couldn't have been any more thrilling as both sides did a splendid job in the pool despite playing the 6th game on the 6th day.

After Montenegro took a great start, the Hungarians responded with a 5-0 rush to heat up the Arena, but before the gap would have grown over 3 goals, the Montenegrins managed to halve the difference by the end of the third and level the score twice in the last period after being two goals down at halftime.

Center-forward Sasa Misic was their hero as he netted three of their last four goals, including two action hits from the center. The last equaliser came 68 seconds from time and the match came to a penalty shootout.

The shootout was decided early as Hungary's two best shooters of the week, tournament's MVP Marton Vamos and Gergo Zalanki both hit the post from the first two attempts, and the tourney's best goalie Viktor Nagy couldn't put a hand any of the four Montenegrin shots.

Montenegro took the title for the second time after its first victory in 2009. The south Slavic team won 100,000 U.S. dollars while the Hungarians gained 70,000 U.S. dollars.
