Game recap: Mega Soccerbet have scored a huge win this Sunday afternoon as they defeated the only undefeated team in the league - Budućnost VOLI! The boys coached by Vladimir Jovanović have therefore added another win to their outstanding season record (8-3) and they are currently holding the 2^nd place on the standings.

This win becomes even bigger if you take into concern that Budućnost VOLI have previously defeated teams such are Partizan NIS and Crvena zvezda mts in Belgrade, but this weekend Mega Soccerbet was simply a better side.

This was the first defeat for Budućnost VOLI in the 2020/21 ABA league campaign and their current overall score is 7-1.

Key moments: Mega Soccerbet have been in front from the start until the finish, while at some moments of this game they even had a 20-point lead. Although Budućnost VOLI managed to reduce the gap to a single digit in the 4th quarter, their final comeback attempt was stopped by Mega's point guard Jovan who scored 5 consecutive points in the final 2 minutes to keep his team on a safe distance.

Man of the match: Filip Petrušev is just unstoppable in this season! Mega’s 20-year-old wonderkid has put up another double-double performance with 23 points and 13 rebounds, while his overall index rating of 36 is the 3^rd best single-game index rating achieved by one player in the ongoing season.

Can’t trick the stats: This was simply not a good shooting day for Budućnost VOLI. The visitors scored just 4 three-pointers for the entire match (4/17), while they were also struggling in their 2-point attempts (20/52).
