From that point on, the difference was never smaller than two goals. Jug held off all Mladost’s comeback attempts. Konstantinos Kakaris, the MVP of the 2022 Croatian League, was the best scorer with three goals.

Many believed that Solaris and Primorje would play an exciting duel, because these two teams are of similar qualities. But, Primorje dominated in the first half. The visitors built a 5:0 lead in the 14th minute. Solaris finally found the solution to break Primorje’s defense only in the 16th minute (1:5). However, Primorje didn’t let the hosts come back. By the end of the match, the Rijeka-based side regained a 5-goal advantage.

Mornar collected three points, beating Medvescak in Zagreb. The visitors from Split made a crucial difference in the middle of the game. At the beginning of the second period, the sides were tied at 4:4. Then, Mornar took control and built a 7:4 lead (17th minute). In the middle of the third period, Mornar went to 9:5 and the visitors’ win wasn’t in danger after that.
