Water polo: Netherlands clinches bronze in a second

In the women's water polo bronze medal match, there was a dramatic finish when the Netherlands pulled off a huge comeback against Team USA to score the winning goal with just one second remaining in the match. This means that they take home the bronze medal, and Team USA, who have won gold in the last three Olympic Games, misses out on the podium altogether for the first time since women's water polo made its Olympic debut in 2000. It's a brutal set of back-to-back losses for Team USA, who blew a three-goal lead in their semifinal match against Australia.

In the last quarter, the Netherlands defeated Team USA 5-1; Sabrina van der Sloot's winning basket came with just a second remaining. Six of the Netherlands' eleven goals in this match came from her.
