The first act of the Bokele derbies, and there will certainly be many this season, went to the water polo players of Jadran Mtela.
It was splashing everywhere in the pool at Škver, with many nice actions, moves and goals. In the end, one detail made the difference - Novljan beat Primorac 14:13 for the fourth victory in the regional Premier League.
Kotor started the game brilliantly, after 10 minutes of play they had a 4:1 advantage, but Vladimir Gojković's team did not even think of giving up. In fact, the fight had just begun...
Jadran reached 4:4, the visitors took the lead 5:4 after the mastery of Savo Ćetković, but after 5:5 a completely different game was seen - the host was the one who was mostly wondering, and Primorac again showed that this season his biggest problem is in defensive.
"It was a good match, maybe with a lot of goals, but you can see that both teams are playing in the Champions League, that the level of club water polo is rising. It's a tough schedule, it's played every three days, and I congratulate the players for recovering after the defeat against Marseille and "I congratulate Primorac, it was close until the last second and we will soon meet in the Cup final," said Gojković for RTCG.
The vice-champion of Montenegro mostly had a two-goal advantage in the second half, Vjekoslav Pasković's team was close to minus one, and at the end they waited for an attack to possibly win the top five - they did not use it, Dušan Matković's shot was saved 18 seconds before the end by Darko Đurović, who more than three minutes before the end, Niki Shushiashvili also "took off" a five-pointer...
Primorac thus remained at only two triumphs in the season, counting the Premier League and the Champions League - in the regional competition it was better than Primorje, then Jug by five.
"We allowed some goals easily in the last quarter. It was a real derby, we showed desire, which is the most important thing at this moment. I am satisfied with that, but we will analyze where we made mistakes and what was good," Pasković pointed out.
The match was marked by Strahinja Gojković, who was the most effective in the Adriatic with four goals, Dmitrij Holod and Aleksandar Ivović scored three goals each, Uroš Vučurović scored two, and Dimitrije Obradović and Danilo Radović scored one each.
In Primorac, Ćetković, Šušijašvili, Matković and Marko Mršić hit the net twice each, Draško Brguljan, Srđan Janović, Đorđije Stanojević and Balša Vučković scored once each.
