The European Elite Are Drawing Closer
The third win of water polo athlete Jadran Mtel at the qualifying tournament for the Champions League signifies that the Montenegrin vice-champion has reached the next step towards the elite round.
Following their impressive victories against Banjaluka (35:3) and Jug (14:12), the team from Novljan defeated Dinamo from Bucharest with a score of 15:8 in Gruž, Dubrovnik, marking another success for Vladimir Gojković’s squad.
Only one more hurdle remains to qualify for the Champions League, and that is to secure a win over Barcelona this Sunday at 10:30.
While Jadran did not display their best form against the Romanian representatives—an outcome that was somewhat anticipated following their intense match with Jug on Friday night—their victory was never in jeopardy.
Our team established a four-goal advantage (7:3) after two quarters, and Dinamo came closest by narrowing the gap to 7:5.
A dominant series of 5:0 ensued until the conclusion of the third period, enabling Jadran to effectively determine the outcome after 24 minutes with a score of 12:5.
Dmitrij Holod stood out by scoring four goals, making him the top performer for the Škver team. Uroš Vučurović, Đorđe Lazić, and Matija Sladović each contributed with two goals, while Danilo Stupar, Danilo Radović, Damjan Vujičić, Aleksandar Ivović, and Vasilije Radović each added one to the scoreboard.
