Jadran was trailing by a single goal (7:8) in the 15th minute. Olympiacos doubled an advantage before the halftime (9:7) and dominated the second half of the match. The Greeks tightened their defence after the middle break. A reserve goalkeeper Stefan Zivojinovic replaced a member of the national team of Greece Emmanouil Zerdevas in front of Olympiacos’s goal, which proved to be good decision. Olympiacos rushed to a 14:7 lead before Jadran scored its first and only goal in the second half. That happened in the 29th minute when it was too late. Olympiacos recorded a 17:8 win.

Szolnok needed a lot of time to break newcomer in the Champions League Sintez Kazan. After the balanced first quarter (3:3), Szolnok jumped to a 7:4 lead deep into the second quarter.

However, Szolnok didn’t let the visitors go further. The Hungarian side, pulled by its Serbian players Subotic, Pijetlovic, Drasovic, nailed five unanswered goals and went to a 13:8 lead with 01:34 remaining on the clock. Sintez scored two goals in the last minute and a half to reduce the gap. Szolnok celebrated a 13:10 victory.

The Adriatic derby was played in Herceg Novi where Jadran hosted Jug Dubrovnik. This was the second encounter between the Croatian and the Montenegrin champion in the last four days. On Friday, Jug beat Jadran in Dubrovnik in the Regional League match (9:6).

The visitors kept the 3-goal advantage by the end of the third period (7:4), while they added two quick goals in the opening minutes of the last quarter to build a 9:4 advantage and to kill all excitements.
