The United States blew a four-goal lead in the last quarter as it tied Hungary, 9-9, in water polo at the World Swimming Championships on Thursday but still made the medal round and clinched an Olympic spot.

Istvan Toth’s third goal of the night, on a power play with 1:15 remaining, enabled both teams to advance.

The top six teams in the world championships qualify for the 1992 Summer Games, with the semifinalists and the top two teams from the losers’ bracket moving on to Barcelona.
