HC Alkaloid missed a golden opportunity to take points in the derby clash against HC Eurofarm Pelister in the closing match of Round 27 of the Super League playoffs.
After an even start, Alkaloid found their rhythm and took firm control, building a solid six-goal advantage by halftime (22-16). They continued in the same fashion after the break, extending the lead to a maximum of eight goals (25-17) in the 34th minute.
However, from that point on, Alkaloid fell into an uncharacteristic spell of mistakes, allowing the visitors to gradually close the gap. Twenty minutes into the second half, the score was level, and Eurofarm Pelister seized the momentum, completing the comeback and walking away with the points.
