– Crazy boy – this is how Polsat Sport commentator Jakub Bednaruk responded to the behavior of Enea Czarni Radom player Nikola Melianac, who after his team's victory over “Barkom Kazan Lviv” ran to the stands to celebrate the victory with the fans.
It just wasn't a winning match for the last PlusLiga team. The Radom team won at their home arena for the first time since December 11, 2021. Since then, they have lost 29 consecutive home games.
After 752 days, Enea Charni finally broke the spell at Arena 63 in Struga as Barko beat Kazan 3-1 on Tuesday. Melianak was instrumental in breaking the curse, scoring a game-high 24 points and earning MVP honors.
1. The curse is broken. The first such victory in two years!
After the last ball, instead of celebrating the victory with his teammates, the Serbian immediately ran to the fans of Enea Tsarni. – And where did he run? – Bednaruk, who was commenting on the match, was surprised to see Melianac walking towards the stands of the Rado Arena. Coach Waldo Cantor's team's forwards entered a sector full of Radom fans and celebrated their breakthrough victory with them.
– It's crazy! He rushed to the fans in “Tsiskvili”. An incredible number. This is crazy – laughed Bednaruk.
For Enea Charni, this is also the first win under coach Cantor and the second all season. Radom is still in last place in the PlusLiga table (2 wins, 12 losses). Barko Kazan is in 12th place with five wins and nine losses.
