Overtime drama decides Corporate Kup clash

In a game that swung like a pendulum, Vega IT edged xSy 76–72 after a tense overtime in the Corporate Kup 2026. The contest was a study in resilience: an early standoff, a midgame surge by xSy, and a late comeback capped by an overtime push that tipped the balance.

xSy entered the fourth quarter with a comfortable lead, up 46–38 after a dominant third period. But Vega IT responded with a furious fourth, outscoring xSy 25–17 to force a 63–63 deadlock and send the game into overtime. In the extra period Vega IT outscored xSy 13–9 to seal the victory.

The headline of the night was rebounding supremacy. Petrović Slavko produced a performance for the ages: 23 points, an astounding 28 rebounds (15 offensive), 6 assists and a game efficiency of 47. His ability to secure second-chance possessions and create opportunities for teammates was the decisive factor in overtime.

Support came from Simic Dusan, who poured in 22 points — six triples among them — and hit several timely shots during the comeback. Pešić Uroš also played a vital role with 18 points and nine rebounds, knocking down crucial free throws and a late three that helped send the game beyond regulation.

For xSy, the attack was balanced. Milanov Aleksandar finished with 19 points and 16 rebounds, while Nikolić Nino also posted 19 points and 15 rebounds. Petrović Pavle added 15 points, and Petrović Petar grabbed 14 rebounds but struggled with ball security, coughing up seven turnovers that hampered xSy's closing phases.

Key numbers and takeaways:

• Petrović Slavko — 23 pts, 28 rebs (15 OR), 6 ast, 47 eff.
• Simic Dusan — 22 pts, 6 threes, 7 rebs.
• Pešić Uroš — 18 pts, 9 rebs, timely shooting late.
• Milanov Aleksandar — 19 pts, 16 rebs; Nikolić Nino — 19 pts, 15 rebs for xSy.
• Final by periods: 11–11, 17–15, 10–20, 25–17, overtime 13–9 (Vega IT outscored xSy in OT).

Ultimately, the game was decided on effort and execution under pressure. Vega IT's offensive rebounds and clutch shooting in the fourth and overtime swung the game in their favor, while xSy's third-quarter surge proved insufficient when turnovers and missed late opportunities undermined the finish.
