Having already secured placement in the third Krste Andonovski memorial tournament finals, HC Alkaloid took on Montenegrin champions HC Lovcen on the final day of the group stage.

This first-ever encounter between the two teams ended in a 34:30 (18:15) victory for HC Alkaloid. Both sides, relieved from the pressure of needing points, played a more offensive style, allowing extra time on the court to players who typically see less action.

HC Alkaloid led throughout the match, though Lovcen managed to narrow the gap to a single goal in the second half (19-20, 20-21). However, HC Alkaloid responded with a focused effort, moving ahead with a 4:1 run to establish a 25-21 advantage, controlling the remainder of the game to secure the win.
