Radnički easily secures three regional points in Šabac
In the penultimate match of the fourth round of the Premier Regional League, also a Serbian derby, Radnički water polo team defeated Šabac away with a score of 11:8.
The guests played excellently in defense, especially in the first half when they only conceded two goals. They took a two-goal lead right at the start through Nikola Murišić and Nikola Jakšić (2-0), and at halftime, they had a four-goal advantage (6-2).
Šabac tried to catch up in the continuation of the match with goals from former Radnički players Nebojša Toholj and Luka Pljevančić (6-4), but it was short-lived. Radnički then went on a new streak of four goals, leading by six goals midway through the last quarter - 10-4, and smoothly finished the match.
The most efficient players in the winning team were Strahinja Rašović, Nikola Jakšić, and Nikola Murišić with two goals each. On the other side, Luka Pljevančić, Aljoša Mačić, and Ognjen Stojanović also scored two goals each.
