Pinheiros clinches first victory in Brazil's National Water Polo League

Pinheiros defeated Paineiras 17‑12 on Wednesday, June 10, in the Liga Nacional de Polo Aquático Masculino, earning the team's first win of the season. The match was balanced early, with Paineiras taking the first quarter 4‑3, but Pinheiros surged ahead in the second quarter 8‑5 and held the lead through strong defensive play, notably by goalkeeper Lucas Farias.

After the win, Pinheiros captain Gustavo Guimarães ("Grummy") said the team corrected earlier poor performances and improved their defense. The club’s next league game is scheduled for June 13 at home against Flamengo.
