Metalurg - Dinamo 33:25 (22:13) 

(Jaganjac 10, Kuzmanovski 7 / Pilipovic 3, Bunjevcevic 3, Mirkovic 3) 

Aleksandar Jovic, Metalurg coach:
We are happy and satisfied because we managed to close 2017 with a win and a good performance. We were not as good as we'd like to be in defense but we were lucky enough to score I think ten goals from counter-attacks. Attack was pretty good and I repeat we're happy we were able to close 2017 in a good mood with our fans.

Mario Tankoski, Metalurg player:
We've played a good match, just like a few days ago against Vardar. I feel like bad matches are now behind us, we've given our best and feel good about this win.

Ivan Petkovic, Dinamo Pancevo coach:
Well-deserved win for Metalurg today. We did not perform good in the first half, failed to stop their offensive intentions and they were on the other side patiently punishing each mistake we made. Serbian derby, Stojanovic' injury... these could all be our alibis as they all interfered with our plans for preparation for this match. Second half was better but it was not enough to turn the match in our direction. No time to pity ourselves, we still have to play Gorenje at home so we must prepare thoroughly.

Milos Barudzic, Dinamo Pancevo player:
Metalurg played a real good match. We made too many technical mistakes in the first half and Metalurg knew how to take advantage of them. Second half was better but opponents already extended the gap far enough for us to catch them. We're dealing with quite tough schedule lately and we obviously didn't have enough time to prepare well enough for this match.
