Croatian Cup: Solaris arrives at F4 after drama in Sibenik

October 23, 2022

Solaris and Mladost Zagreb won the top spots in their respective groups of the Croatian Cup Qualifications and advanced to the Final Four.

Jadran Split and Jug AO, the finalists in the previous season, are directly qualified for the F4.

Mladost cruised to 1st place in the group in Zagreb, while the battle for the top spot in Group A in Sibenik was more interesting. Solaris and Primorje were equaled in points at the end of the tournament, and the goal difference was decisive. Solaris was better in this criterion and finished atop the group.

The Serbian Cup started this weekend, too, but without the best teams.

Primorje and Solaris recorded easy wins on Day 1. Their encounter in the second round was a real thriller. Primorje started better. The Rijeka-based team took a 4:1 lead, had a 3-goal advantage at the middle break (6:3) and again in the third quarter (8:5). Then, Solaris started climbing back. The hosts leveled at 9:9 early in the fourth and went ahead shortly after (10:9). Still, Primorje was closer to a victory. Fifty seconds before the end, the team from Rijeka regained a lead (12:11). But, Solaris scored an equalizer with 15 seconds to go and saved a point.
