The difference from Liguria was unattainable, but the Adriatic water polo players finished their performance in the Eurocup in style.
If nothing else, they improved their impression in the second leg of the round of 13 of the second strongest European competition and defeated Savona - in Trebinje it was 12:XNUMX for Petar Radanović's team.
After the defeat of 16:10 in the first match, it was clear that Novlja faced an impossible mission in the fight for the quarter-finals, and the guests controlled the result until the third quarter and had a two-goal advantage on two occasions.
Later, Jadran was mostly wondering, he took the lead for the first time in the second minute of the third quarter and tried to bring excitement into the double match. However, Savona had an answer, primarily thanks to the centers Lorenzo Bruni and Nikola Roki, who were too much of a burden for the defenders of the Montenegrin champion.
Jadran took a plus-two lead for the first time (12:10) five minutes before the end after goals from Jovan Vujović and Ivan Nagaev from the box, but already in the next attack, Savona with a player reduced it to 12:11 when Darko Đurović was checked by Balaž Erdelji.
The team from Škver was led by Nagaev with four goals, of which he scored three from the box, while Jovan Vujović scored three times...
Bruni scored three in Savona, while Montenegrin representative Bogdan Đurđić scored twice.
