Spain beat defending champions Croatia 35-29 to win their third men's handball bronze medal in four Olympic Games.

A seven-goal haul from left-wing Juan Garcia and a solid defensive effort put Spain on top. Croatia opened the scoring, were soon up 3-1 and went into the break leading 14-12. But breakaway goal from Demetrio Lozano took Spain ahead 25-22 in the 47th minute, leaving the Croatians chasing the game.

Serbia take bronze in water polo

BBC Online

Serbia beat Balkan neighbour Montenegro 6-4 to take the bronze medal in men's water polo in Beijing. The Serbian victory came despite the absence of their leading scorer Aleksandar Sapic and their usual starting goalkeeper Denis Sefik.

The Serbs dominated the game with strong attacking until Montenegro fought back to score three late goals.

It was the first Olympic showdown between the two countries since Montenegro split from Serbia in 2006.

The USA play Hungary for the gold medal later on Sunday.
