The final series of the Croatian League playoffs have started in Dubrovnik today.

Reigning champion Jug made the first step towards the new title with a 12:9 victory over Mladost.

Croatian Championship, playoffs

Final (best-of-five), 1st game

Jug – Mladost 12:9 (4:2, 2:3, 3:2, 3:2)

Jug was in front for most of the time. Mladost managed to equalize just once (1:1 in the fourth minute). Still, the visitors were coming back from time to time. Early in the second quarter, the hosts, which were led by Paulo Obradovic and Alexandros Papanastasiou, built a 3-goal advantage (5:2 and 6:3). In the final seconds of the first half, Mladost cut the deficit to one goal (5:6).

Jug re-built a 3-goal advantage in the third period (8:5 and 9:6). The rest of the game was a pretty balanced battle. In the middle of the fourth quarter, Mladost’s Josip Vrlic converted a man-up for 8:10. But, shortly after, Loren Fatovic responded with two straight goals to give Jug a safe 12:8 lead with three minutes left, and the hosts secured the victory.

The second match will be played in Zagreb on Wednesday.
