The home side needed every ounce of their energy and skill to overcome a stubborn Domaljevac team in a match that ebbed and flowed before Modrica finally secured the win in a tense fifth-set climax.
Modrica started strongly, taking the first set with relative ease. Domaljevac, however, showcased their fighting spirit, rallying to win the next two sets and stun the home crowd by taking a 2-1 lead.
