Jadran beats Šabac again, Boka Kopaonik derby possible in Eurocup quarterfinals

After Primorac, the Jadran M:tela water polo team also did their job and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Eurocup.

Kotor saw a goalless draw (17:16 against BVSC), and in Škver, the match between Novljan and Šabac was played with one goal less, which suited our representative, who celebrated 13:8 in the first match.

In the end, it was 5:4, after the first goal of the game was not seen until the second minute of the second quarter when the guests took the lead.

Immediately afterwards, Dmitrij Holod equalized at 1:1, and Vladimir Gojković's team later created a "wall" in front of the goal of the phenomenal Darko Đurović (12 saves) that the team from Šapče - whose cap is worn by Montenegrin national team players Aljoša Mačić and Andrija Korać - could not break through.

Jadran led 2:1, Šabac turned it around to 3:2, and the key was the 3:0 run for 5:3 created by Jovan Vujović, Holod and Vasilije Radović. In addition to these three, Đorđe Lazić also scored for Šabac.

Jadran and Primorac are among the top eight in the second-strongest European competition, so a Boka Bay derby in the quarterfinals is possible - whether it will happen will be revealed in tomorrow's draw, which is scheduled to start at 10 am.

"We didn't play well, but we knew it would be difficult. Wishes before the draw? The good thing is that Montenegrin water polo has two representatives in the quarterfinals, and I think everyone's wish before the draw is to avoid Pro Reko. I think we can play with everyone else," said Gojković.

In addition to Jadran, Primorac and Pro Reka, Mladost from Zagreb, Sabadelj, Breša, Radnički from Kragujevac and Vašaš also qualified for the quarterfinals.
