January 15, 2023

The second part of the Croatian League started with the matches of the 10th round.

All the results from the first nine rounds were carried to the 2nd phase, but the clubs are split into two groups now.
The derby of the day was an encounter between the most decorated Croatian clubs, Jug and Mladost. There were no thrills. Mladost didn’t surprise the reigning champion. Jug recorded a big 15:8 victory.

Jadran Split bye

Matches between Jug and Mladost have been Croatian water polo classics for decades. Still, this season, the difference in quality isn’t small, which was proved by the final score. Jug led from the beginning. Mladost came close a few times (2:3, 3:5, 5:7). Shortly after Mladost’s fifth goal, Jug scored three in a row and earned a comfortable 10:5 advantage. Jug captain Loren Fatovic was the man of the match, scoring six goals from seven attempts.

Primorje earned a valuable win in the match against Solaris. Beating Solaris, Primorje caught up with Mladost in points. Now, Solaris is six points behind the Rijeka-based team. Primorje dictated the pace. Solaris leveled just twice (2:2, 3:3). Late into the second quarter, Primorje built a 5:3 lead. From that point on, the hosts were always in front.

Medvescak easily beat bottom-placed Zadar 1952.
