The two teams retired to the locker room and according to the Serbian press, his team Zeljko Obradovic refused to return to the court and to compete without the presence of her world in the stands!
Afterward from over 2.5 hours of downtimeRed Star and the referees, who they gave 15 minutes to Partizan for her to appear as well, so that the fight can continue. However, as reported in the country’s media, some players of the “black and white” he wasn’t even on the fieldas they had left for their homes!
So, after the time given by the referees passed and Partizan did not appear, then both they and the team of Yannis Sfairopoulos retired to the locker room.
By regulation, the league is obligated to award the match with a score of 20-0 in favor of the “red and white”who will thus be crowned and Serbian championsafter they had won in the first match of the finals, which are judged on the two victories!
