 Metković finished first in the Croatian league in 1999/2000 season before the playoff, but because of a player whose transfer from RK Zagreb to Metković was not completed (it was still a case in arbitration) played for them in a friendly match under a different name they were moved to second place.Therefore RK Zagreb had one home game more in the final where it managed to defeat RK Metković in five games with three home wins.| valign=top |
