Ready for the water polo drama of the year? The young Montenegrin water polo players just pulled off the unthinkable – they beat Croatia in an epic match at the European Championship in Istanbul! Yes, you read that right! After two losses at the start, our boys rose like a phoenix from the ashes and in the last round of Group B showed the big teeth to mighty Croatia. The regular time ended in a nail-biting 33:33 draw, and then came the real drama – the penalty shootout! Strahinja Vraneš became the hero by blocking Deni Sape’s shot, while our players Danilo Roganović, Luka Cerović, Luka Dragović, Balša Crepulja, and Andrej Durutović were ice-cold and precise.
But wait, there’s more! Montenegro was actually leading by up to three goals during the match, with Roganović being the top scorer with four goals, and Cerović and Durutović adding a few more. Croatia only led once, right at the start. This win isn’t just a number on the scoreboard – it’s a sign that a new generation of Montenegrin water polo stars is rising, and they’re here to stay!
Now, the round of 16 awaits against Romania, tomorrow at 18:45. Will our boys keep this spectacular run going, or will Romania stand in their way? We can’t wait to find out! Got a hot take or think this is the biggest sports upset of the year? Drop a comment below – you know we love a good debate and some laughs!
