They fought as hard as they could, they forced home coach Daniel Gavan to take all six time-outs during the match, but in the end the epilogue was the same as in the first two rounds - a maximum loss.
Thus, Budva Riviera finished the first half of the competition in group D of the Champions League with zero.
In the third round, they were defeated by the objectively weakest of all three rivals, against whom Slobodan Boškan's team, in this composition, still showed the limits for this level of competition.
Budva will have the opportunity for a rematch on December 17 on their home field, and the match with the current champion of Austria is also the last chance for triumph, because our champion welcomes the European champion Zenit in the last two rounds and the Halkbanka team is a guest.
As for the match itself, Budva Riviera led only 1:0 at the beginning of the second set, and missed the opportunity to do something more in the first set, when it did not realize two counters in 22:23.
