I always feel good when I play against Vardar but the difference in quality is obvious. We've started the match badly but after that we were playing much better than in Veszprem. Fans could see good and interesting handball.
Mirko Heceg, NEXE's player:
We were a bit sleepy at the beginning making some rookie mistakes. We've tried but we were not able to reach Vardar. We must train and work hard for future challenges.
Raul Gonzalez, Vardar's coach:
I am very satisfied especially with Cindrić's excellent roll. After the beginning and our six goal advantage NEXE've played much better especially in defense. They deserve congratulations.
Luka Cindrić, Vardar's player:
First of all I would like to thank people from Našice and NEXE on a pretty gift. We are very satisfied after the match especially because we are very tired after the match in Banja Luka yesterday. We were aware that the match will be tough, started good in defense deciding the match early.
