Ardiaei claimed a narrow 24-22 victory over Poráč in the Premier League on Saturday evening, securing all three points in what proved to be a closely contested fixture.
The home side started with confidence, knowing they were unbeaten in five league meetings, but the visitors never got going until the final quarter. By then, Ardiaei had found their rhythm and pulled away when it mattered most.
Poráč remain fourth with 15 points from 14 games — seven wins, six draws and a single defeat. The loss cuts into their unbeaten run but leaves them firmly in the mix for a top-three finish.
Ardiaei's away form has been inconsistent this season, but this result suggests they are finally hitting their stride. They have the deeper squad, and it showed in the closing stages when Poráč tired.
The gap between the sides remains just one point at the top of the table. Another day, another point could change everything.
