Sesvete beat RK Metković 28 to 31 in the Premier League on the tenth of October. The away side moved a point clear at the top after the hosts could only manage a draw in their last outing against Osijek. To be fair, the table suggested Sesvete would edge it, and the result followed that reading.
Metković had started the season steady, three wins and two draws without a defeat, but the balance shifted here. Sesvete arrived with four wins and a single draw, and they let the game flow faster than the hosts expected. By then the visitors were already touch and go on a longer run, and this one kept them in it.
I watched the whole match and remember the opening exchanges. Metković tried to control the tempo early, but Sesvete turned to the kids to raise the intensity when needed. The home side was left flat-footed when the visitors closed the game out in the second half, and that is where the match was decided.
We had called for the away win at sixty-three percent confidence, and here is the thing — it was not a surprise. Sesvete's recent form showed they could handle pressure, and Metković had hit a wall in their previous fixture. The prediction held up because the gap in confidence showed on the court.
The hosts sit third with six points after five games, while Sesvete move clear with eight. The goal difference still favours the visitors, and they extended their unbeaten run to five. Metković remain unbeaten but the momentum has swung.
