CO Zagreb came to Cetinje with many problems in their squad but inspite of that managed to win and remain first in the league. This was first time for Lovćen this season to host someone in their hall in Cetinje and in addition to that Zagreb has never managed to win there before. This time it was close too. Zagreb has taken the lead from the beginning of the match as brilliant Horvat had 4/4 in game shot and 3/3 from 7 meter line which kept Croatian champion on +3 to 4 goal difference. In the end of the first half Lovćen has reached equaliser at 15:15 but with Valčić's goal in the final seconds Zagreb went on a half-time break with a lead.

In the second half Lovćen even had in plus three in a few situations, mostly due to great saves from Borilović and some nice moves by Kaluđerović and Popović in attack. In the end hosts did not have enough strenght to finish the match, Zagreb has caught the equaliser in 52' minute with Matulić's goal and has even had plus 3 in the finish of the match. It was too much for Lovćen to reach and Zagreb has taken their first win in Cetinje. 

Željko Petričević, Lovćen's coach:

We miss strong games like these because this is how you make your players better. We knew who Zagreb is, tried to surprise them with some variations in defence but Zagreb's experience has brought them win in the end. We weren't far from at least a point and that's what makes us sad but...

Boris Dvoršek, CO Zagreb's coach:

Very good game, great crowd, people who understand handball. We have managed to win in the end and I believe we deserved it. Lovćen has surprised us with their tactics but luckily we were ready to get used to it and win the match. Congrats to everyone on a great match.

Ante Kaleb, CO Zagreb's middle back:

Winning points was the most important thing today and we did it. National team break has brought us some bad things but I am happy that we were strong enough as a team to win the match in the end. Now we're turning to EHF's CL.
