The Montenegrin vice-champion’s impressive feat of scoring 17 goals within the first 14 and a half minutes of the match highlights the caliber of the opponent that Jadran Mtela faced in their opening game of the Champions League qualification.

Banjaluka’s performance fell short in their attempt to secure a spot in the elite league, as they struggled to pose a significant challenge to Novljan, who triumphed with a 35:3 victory at the tournament’s kickoff in Gruž, Dubrovnik.

As a result, the Banja Luka team managed to net just three goals, and it’s clear that Vladimir Gojković’s squad might have been able to prevent even those. However, this doesn’t alter the main takeaway—it served merely as a rigorous training session for our representative, who is poised for a pivotal match in the race for first place tomorrow in the Champions League.

Jadran is set to compete against Jug on Friday at 18:30, and the outcome of the neighboring derby will determine their chances heading into the final two rounds against Dinamo from Bucharest and Barcelona.

There’s little to elaborate on concerning the match against Banja Luka, as the goals flowed almost effortlessly like a well-edited film.

During the first two quarters, Jadran’s players required only 17 shots to accumulate 20 goals, with the opponent netting their first goal in the final minute of the second period when Glavić brought the score to 17:1.

All members of the Jadran team got on the scoreboard, including goalkeeper Ilija Radović, who found the net in the second to last minute for the statline of 33:3.

Strahinja Gojković and Dimitrije Obradović were the stars of the match, each scoring seven goals, while Danilo Radović contributed five and Vuk Milojević added four…

Jug lived up to expectations by defeating Dinamo 15:8, while Barcelona had a bye in the first round.

In addition to the Jug – Jadran match, Barcelona will also compete against Dinamo on Friday at 20:30.
