Game recap: FMP Soccerbet scored a huge road win as they beat Krka in Leon Štukelj Sports Hall this Friday evening.  

If you think that yesterday’s 4^th quarter ending in the match between Cibona and Borac Mozzart occurs once in many years, then you should think twice as it happened again just one day later.

FMP Soccerbet were down by 4 points – 81:77, with less than 15 seconds remaining in the 4^th quarter, but the Panthers still managed to take this game into overtime! After Vojislav Stojanović made two free throws to reduce the gap to 2 points – 81:79, the FMP Soccerbet squad then made a steal, while that steal led to an easy 2-pointer made by Bojan Subotić that tied the score and forced overtime – 81:81.

In the additional 5 minutes, FMP Soccerbet used a good momentum to seize a precious win and take  a sweet revenge on Krka for that defeat in the opening round of the 2023/24 season.

FMP Soccerbet now have the overall score of 5-9, while Krka are at 3-11.

Key moments: Apart from that crazy ending of the 4^th quarter, we should also mention the final play of the overtime in which Krka had a chance to take this game into double overtime. However, Jan Špan's lay-up attempt did not go through the basket, while after that FMP Soccerbet managed to protect the ball until the time ran out.

Man of the match: This award belongs to Bojan Subotić today. Not that just Subotić made that key 2-pointer that forced overtime, but he was also the best player of FMP Soccerbet in this match with a double-double performance of 17 points and 11 rebounds.

Can’t trick the stats: Take a look at this – while Krka had just 1 steal in this match, FMP Soccerbet made 10 steals! And one of them helped them to force overtime and win the match eventually.
