Just one more game and the most unequal final series of the Montenegrin Water Polo Championship will be over - Jadran played in the "Dragan Trifunović" pool, defeated Budva by as much as 20:9 (5:2, 6:2, 3:1, 6:4) and on Tuesday, unless the greatest miracle in the history of our sport happens, they will secure their 14th title since the restoration of independence.

With the shocking elimination of Primorac, the team from the metropolis of Montenegrin tourism exceeded all expectations, but it was known that Vladimir Gojković's team would not allow themselves to relax like the people of Kotor.

Four days ago, the team from Novi Sad celebrated a 23:16 victory at Škver, and today they were much more engaged and serious in defense, so the gap was constantly growing.

After just six minutes of play, the score was 5:1, and in the second quarter it was plus seven several times.

Jadran scored two goals at the start of the second half to go up 13:4, then had a 14:5 lead, and in the final period they even reached plus 11 (17:6, 18:7, 19:8 and 20:9).

All players except Vasilije Radović were included in Gojković's team, and the most efficient were Strahinja Gojković, Danil Merkulov and Dmitrij Holod with three goals each, as were Matija Brguljan and Nenad Dragović for the home team.
