Radnički was losing 4:0 in Tbilisi, then reached their first victory in the Champions League
In the first match of the third round of the Champions League, water polo team Radnički managed to defeat Dinamo in Tbilisi with a score of 10:9 after a great comeback. This victory came after two defeats against Jadran and Ferencvaros, marking their first win in the elite competition.
In the same group, Ferencvaroš will host Jadran from Split tonight at 8 p.m., while in Group A, Novi Beograd and Hanover will face off at 8 p.m., and earlier at 7:15 p.m., the Romanian derby between Steaua and Oradea will take place.
Kragujevčani (Radnički players) achieved victory in a much tougher way than expected, as Dinamo led an incredible 4:0 after 10 minutes of play. However, Radnički, as they have done many times this season, managed to get back into the match and eventually emerged victorious. Kragujevac took the lead six and a half minutes before the end, when Nikola Jakšić quickly turned the result around with two goals, but Boris Vapenski and Luka Čikovani quickly responded in the same way, giving the home team leads of 8:7 and 9:8.
With 90 seconds left, Dušan Vasić leveled the score, Radnički then defended well, earned an exclusion on the opposite side, and with a goal from Nikola Murišić, secured three crucial points.
Next up for Radnički is a derby away match against Novi Beograd in the Regional League on Sunday at 8 p.m., followed by the decisive Champions League match against Jadran Split on November 13 in Kragujevac.
