The young team from Jadrana dominated the Zagreb squad at Poljud, winning a tense match that was decided in the final four minutes

In the sixth round of the Croatian water polo championship, Jadran from Split defeated Zagreb’s Medveščak 19:10 at the Poljud pool. Coach Jure Marelja rested several senior players, including Semana, Radan, Zović, and Popadić, while giving first-team opportunities to young players Lapčić, Bojčić, and Domazet. Despite the reduced squad, Jadran maintained control throughout the match, extending their lead after a brief early tie. Top scorers for the home team were Skejić and Požarić with five goals each, followed by Katunarić with four. This victory brings Jadran to 15 points after six rounds, securing their position as leaders before their upcoming cup quarter-final against local rivals POŠK.
