Jovic: “In my opinion a draw was the most fair“
NEXE - Metalurg 31:31 (16:15)
(Buvinic 9, Barisic Jaman 6, Zrnic 5 / Jaganjac 9, Pesevski 5)
Hrvoje Horvat, NEXE coach:
We had a lot of problems in defense especially when Metalurg played with seven players. Halil Jaganjac played really well, he is on the top level. If we want to beat teams like Metalurg we must arrange our defense like a fortress. But we didn't do it. So, we must to be satisfied with one point.
Albin Eter, NEXE player:
I would like to congratulate Metalurg team on a good match. They deserved one point. I will not comment on the other parts of the match.
Aleksandar Jovic, Metalurg coach:
It was a good match. We played very well on ‘seven versus six’. We had some good minutes and NEXE also had some good minutes. In my opinion a draw was the most fair. Before the match we had some problems. So I would like to congratulate my players. They were fighting.
Ante Tokic, Metalurg player:
It was a very fair match. I want to congratulate the NEXE team and all my teammates. They gave 100 percent, and we played well at ‘seven versus six’. Both teams may have some regrets. We had a three goal advantage in the second half, but NEXE had the last attack for chance to win.
