The Kragujevac Wild Boars kept their CEFL Bowl hopes alive Saturday as they defeated the Moscow Patriots 34-20 at “Sušica” stadium in Kragujevac, Serbia.
With the win, Kragujevac can still reach the CEFL Bowl if Moscow beats the Koc Rams from Turkey on May 12 by 21 points or less.
Wild Boars quarterback Dalton Oliver threw four touchdown passes and ran one in himself. Wide receiver Strahinja Stepovic caught three of those touchdown passes while running back Joshua Quezada caught the fourth. Matija Almashi kicked four of five extra points.

Oliver found Stepovic on a beautiful 53 yard pass and run to give Kragujevac the lead again, 14-7. This time Strokov capped a long Moscow drive with a one yard run to even the score at 14-14.
