After beating Jadran Herceg Novi yesterday, Jadran Split achieved another win in a derby match. The Croats have six points from two games, and it’s almost certain that they will advance to the second qualification round. The Greeks started well. They had a slim lead in the beginning (3:2), but Jadran responded with three straight goals for 5:3, and from that point on, the Croats were always ahead. Jadran broke the rival in the middle of the game. In the 15th minute, Apollon trailed 6:7. But, Jadran, led by Jerko Marinic Kragic and Konstantin Kharkov, produced a 5:0 run by the middle of the third quarter.

Enka: P. Obradovic 3, Gurdenli 2.

The home team started slowly. Jadran opened the match with a 2:0 lead, but Enka leveled at 2:2 before the first break. However, Jadran kept Enka goalless in the following 10 minutes, while it netted five goals. The hosts went to 7:2 and killed all the suspense.

OSC – Sintez 15:12 (5:4, 4:3, 3:2, 3:3)

OSC Budapest: Vigvari 4, Salamon 3, Manhercz 2, Toth 2, Harai 2,Sziladi 1, Burian 1.
Sintez Kazan: Ryzhov-Alenichev 6, Zinnurov 3, Bychkov 1, Lisunov 1, Shepelev 1.

Sintez started the match with 12 players. Lisunov returned to the team after a suspension, but Lazarev didn’t play in both today’s games.

Despite the fact they entered the match with a player fewer, the Russians kept up with one of the best Hungarian clubs for most of the time. Sintez scored an opening goal. OSC responded with two for 2:1, but the Russians leveled the score at 2:2, 3:3, 4:4, and 5:5. Early in the third period, OSC made a three-goal difference (10:7). After that, Sintez was trying to come back, but OSC controlled the match and kept the points. Sintez managed to stop OSC’s best scorer Manhercz. Young Vince Vigvari was the leader of the winning team’s offense with four goals. But, the best scorer was Sintez’s Alexey Ryzhov-Alenichev, who found the net six times.
