Montenegro outwit Greece to lift the Samartzidis Cup

July 31, 2022

Montenegro have won the Samartzidis Cup in Heraklion, Crete, with a final day 13-10 triumph over home nation Greece.

Scores from Aleksa Ukropina (3), Marko Mrsic (3) and Bogdan Durdic (2) helped the Montenegrins seal the win. In front of a passionate crowd,  the away side found a way to score at the important times in the game –  including two goals in the last two minutes of the third quarter to lead 8-6 into the last.

Greece had been really bright in the opening period, with some slick attacking play. But it was all a little predicable from Theodoros Vlachos’s side, who struggled to put the ball past Dejan Lazovic in the Montenegrin goal.

Both teams will be satisfied with the run-out in preparation for the European Championships in Split – especially as both coaches put some interesting tactics to the test from timeouts during tonights match.

In the earlier game, the Netherlands condemned Germany to a winless weekend in Crete, with the Oranges outscoring the Germans in every quarter.
