Champions League: Mladost Zagreb last team qualified for second round

After the four sets win in Montenegro in first leg, Mladost Zagreb defeated again Budva this time with the score of 3-2 (23:25, 37:39, 25:15, 26:24, 15:13) in Croatia, in front of their home fans, after a great comeback from 0-2, and thus avoiding a possible Golden Set.
After 144 minutes of intense play, Spyridon Chandrinos, Clemens Ecker and Djordje Jovovic scored 21, and 20 points each respectively for the winners, while Vojin Cacic, the most prolific player, left the court with 24 points but he wasn’t enough.
In the next stage, scheduled already next week, they’ll face Hypo Tirol Innsbruck from Austria, who yesterday eliminated Hungary’s Fino Kaposvar after a double straight sets win.
