The triumphant streak of Voli's future in "Morača" has come to an end, perhaps at the most inconvenient moment of the season.
After 10 triumphs in both competitions, Podgorica were defeated by Trabzon and now the placement in the second round of the Eurocup is in the realm of theory.
It is necessary for them to celebrate until the end in both matches (Unix, Steaua), and for Banvit to lose against Trabzon at home or Aris away.
The home players started the match very well, they took a 7:0 lead, which "awakened" first of all Veličković and Hardi, who scored eight and nine points respectively for the turnaround (21:22). From that moment until the end of the match,
It was Trabzon who controlled the events on the field. The visitors showed a particularly good game in the opening minutes of the third quarter, when they reached the maximum advantage of 41:57.
The convincing minus startled the "blues" a bit, they played more aggressively in defense and came back with a series of 15:4 for 56:61 in the 32nd minute. However, the Turkish team did not allow a reversal, and when Andrija Stipanović scored 50:51 about 57 seconds before the end, it seemed that everything was resolved.
Buducnost Voli players gave the last atom and entered the penalty shootout.
Dwight Hardy hit the key shots eight seconds before the end for Trabzon to celebrate.
Bojan Subotić led Budućnost Voli with 19 points, while Tadija Dragićević scored 18.
Omar Kuk (16), Nemanja Jaramaz (11) and Sead Šehović (10) scored in double figures.
For the winners, Hardi scored 22 points, Novica Veličković scored 16.
Andrija Stipanović and Terence Kinsey finished the match with 15 each.
