Victorious farewell to Champions League

Partizan’s water polo team won over Galatasaray to 11:14 in Engin Bora Pool, Istanbul, at the last group match of Champions League. The match had no significant importance, as Partizan could not qualify to the Final Six, while Galatasaray was positioned last of Group B.

Probably that was the reason no goddamn TV channel broadcasted it.

After 4 minutes we were on the lead to 0:3. Gilen scored two, Asanoviá one. Galatasaray reduced the difference with Slobodan Nikić’s goal

the fun part of the match was that 8 out of Galatasaray’s 13 players were from the states of the former Yugoslavia

our answer was Manojlović (1:4).
In the second part Turks reduced to 3:4, meanwhile the Italian and the Spanish referee continuously whistled fouls on Partizan. The half time result was 5:7, despite all we were still leading. In the third quarter Galatasaray got even closer to us, first to 6:7, then to 7:8, 8:9, finally to 9:10, with a nerve-racking approach. Then in the final period they even equalized (11:11), five minutes before the end.
That was the moment head coach Vujasinović sent the young titans into the battle. Tanasković, Stojanović and Asanović all shot the ball into the Turkish net.

Information to all of you: Wednesday is eternal derby day for the Serbian league final.
