Jug Confirms First Place
From Gruž, Jug Adriatic Insurance and Mladost will go to the final tournament of the Croatian Cup (Zagreb, November 26th and 27th), precisely in that order. This further means that in the semifinals, Jugaši will face the second-placed team from the Split tournament which starts today (Thursday, November 7th).
In the final, 5th round of the Dubrovnik tournament, Jug Adriatic Insurance showcased a powerful offensive, scoring an impressive 30 goals against the KPK team from Korčula. A curiosity is definitely the result of the second quarter in which the Dubrovnik team scored as many as 12 goals!
The most goals were scored by Jure Jarak and Vlaho Pavlić, both with 6 goals each, followed closely by Iviša Burđelez with 5 goals, and Ante Jerković with 4.
It is worth noting that the team from Korčula played the match with only 11 players on the roster.
In the second match of the round, and also the final of the entire tournament, there was another offensive display, this time from both sides. Mornar defeated Medveščak in a match with a total of 35 goals, with Mornar winning by just 1 goal.
In this particular match, Nikola Šimunović stood out with an impressive 8 goals for Medveščak! The winning goal for Mornar was scored by Luka Dodoja, a minute before the end of the match.
