In the third quarter, Mornar earned a two-goal lead (7:5 and 10:8). Three minutes before the end, the hosts streched the margin to three (12:9). But Solaris didn’t give in and cut the deficit (11:12) with just 37 seconds remaining on the clock. Solaris even had a chance to equalize, but Mornar’s goalkeeper Kordic saved a shot from Pelicaric in the last second. After that, the fight started.

Titleholder Jug played its first match in the season and easily beat Medvescak 17:9 in Zagreb. As usual, Loren Fatovic was Jug’s best scorer with six goals. Alex Obert, the center forward of the Team USA, debuted for Jug with a goal.

Mladost also showed no mercy. The Regional League winner downed POSK in Split – 17:4. Romanian center-forward Cosmin Radu nailed five goals, Luka Bukic scored five.
