Primorac handed over the crown, and Vladimir Gojković returned the Montenegrin champion title to Škver on his return.

The Jadran M:tela water polo players are celebrating the trophy after defeating their Boka Kotorska rival in the third match of the final series – after two victories on five points, everything is now settled in the regular season (11:9).

The team from Novi thus reached their 13th title since Montenegro became independent and ended the season with one trophy, as Primorac won the Cup at the end of 2024.

The third game also brought drama. Primorac opened the derby better and led 5:2 in the second quarter, but then the hosts went on a 6:0 run in a period of almost 11 minutes in which Vjekoslav Pasković’s team failed to score.

Jadran led 8:5, Primorac reduced the lead to 8:7 through Nemanja Vic and the phenomenal Đorđije Stanojević, and then the game was goal for goal.

The new champion could have gone three points clear on several occasions in the last period, Primorac could have evened the score, and Uroš Vučurović put an end to the uncertainty with a goal four seconds before the end.

Vučurović scored after a timeout by Gojković after a foul was called on Dragan Drašković with 23 seconds left. There were huge protests from the Kotor fans about the referee’s decision, and coach Pasković was sent off, but Jadran didn’t look back…

Dmitrij Holod, Aleksandar Ivović and Vuk Milojević were double scorers, Vučurović, Danilo Radović, Đorđe Lazić, Matija Sladović and Danilo Stupar scored once each.

Stanojevic stood out for Primorac with four goals, while Nika Shushiashvili scored twice.
