2020/21 ABA League 2 Regular Season, Round 3, Sunday, 15 October, 2020:
Sutjeska - PODGORICA 75:80 (18:24, 24:18, 14:16, 19:22)
In the first game of the day at the Zlatibor Regular Season Tournament, Podgorica have prevailed over Sutjeska in a local derby.
It has been an exciting game in Zlatibor, as they always tend to be when local rivals meet. And, after Podgorica were in front basically throughout the entire game, they have deservedly grabbed the win with the final score of 75:80.
The game has been a close one all until final moments, as right before the start of the final minute, only a point has been separating the two squads (72:73). However, Marko Kovačević and Marko Ljujić have combined 5 straight points in only a few seconds at the dawn of the final minute to pull their squad away by 6 points and Sutjeska did not manage to bounce back again after this blow.
This is the second win for Podgorica this season in the ABA League 2, while Sutjeska remain winless in search of their first triumph of the season.
