why?
2000, Sydney, RUS vs. ESP Sudden death lived for a decade or so in water polo but the decisive chapter never ever lasted as long as it did in the semifinal between Russia and Spain. They stood 7-7 after 28 minutes. Great saves and nerve-wracking misses followed each other as the six additional minutes went scoreless, so next came the sudden death: for the very first time in water polo's Olympic history. No one dared to take any risk. Still, three power play situations were called at both ends: Spain got the first ones, then came the Russians. Five remained unburied but the sixth brought the decisive moment as Dmitry Gorshkov's fine shot hit the back of the net, putting an end to the marathon: the sudden death lasted 9 minutes and 55 seconds!

"power play situation" When a player commits a foul, they have to leave the game for 20 seconds. Thus, one team has 6 players, and the other has 5 players. Having 6 players is an advantage.

the “five” means first 5 minutes, and sixth means the sixth minute at overtime, is it?

No. The "sudden death" period lasted 9 minutes, 55 seconds (almost 10 minutes).
I think that 5 and 6 refers to the number of players on the teams in a power play situation.

three power play situations were called at both ends:
To me, this means that each team had 3.
3 times 2 is 6.
remained unburied perhaps means the team failed to bury the ball in the net in the first five power plays.
