France will get a chance to defend its title after defeating Croatia 25-22 thanks to the heroics of keeper Thierry Omeyer.

Omeyer erased the first nine shots, allowing his team to build an early lead and eventually come up with the win.

Sweden edged Hungary 27-26 and now have a chance to regain the Olympic spotlight it once had in the sport. The Swedish scored silver in Barcelona, Atlanta and Sydney and now they'll have yet a fourth chance at gold against the defending champions.

Croatia and Hungary will play for bronze on Sunday, Aug. 12 at 6 a.m. ET, while France and Sweden will play for gold at 10 a.m. ET.
