The Jadran Mtela water polo team defeated Mladost for the second time this season and took a serious step towards the final tournament of the regional Premier League.
Vladimir Gojković's team celebrated 13:9 in Zagreb, their seventh triumph in a row.
Jadran lost only once (1:0), led 7:4 at halftime, and by the middle of the third quarter it was 11:5...
Vasilije Radović was the central figure of the derby with five goals, and Dmitij Holod, Uroš Vučurović, Jovan Vujović, Danilo Radović, Strahinja Gojković, Aleksandar Ivović, Matija Sladović and Danilo Stupar each scored for Zagreb.
Jadran took third place from Radnički with a match to spare, and has five points more than fifth-placed Mladost.
"We got a direct competitor for a place in the Final Four. We entered the game well, the players were focused from the start and that was the key. We are facing a fast pace of games every three days and we will only think about the next opponent," said Gojković.
