Morava Cheetahs vs Locomotive

Match report

In the match of the third round of the Balkan Super League, the home team Morava Cheetahs and Locomotiva from Sofia met today in Leskovac on the FC Sloga playground. It was the first international rugby 13 game in Leskovac, so it is not surprising that over 100 curious people gathered at a temperature of around 35 degrees. Unexpectedly, the guests were left without three players on the day of the match. Two, due to the now standard problems with the covid-19, but the third case of “enlightenment” of the first team player of Locomotive is especially interesting, who only learned at the Dragoman border that Serbia is not a member of the EU, and that he needs a passport to enter it, not just a personal ID. However, even with only 13 players, Locomotive played very well. They decided the first half in their favor with 22-18. In the second half, they led until two minutes before the end with 36-30, when the Cheetahs equalized to 36-36 with an essay and then with a goal by Aleksandar Pavlović. The division of points seems to be the fairest result in the end, which both teams can be completely satisfied with.
