STATEMENTS AFTER THE MATCH:

RK Partizan coach - Aleksandar Brković:

- It was a hard fight between two teams tonight. I was concerned about my young and unexperienced players ability to finish this thight match. I am not sure that our back line was 60 years old together. We made advantage on the end and I am really glad because of that fact. Our wish is that our young players gain as much experience as they can from the strong matches in SEHA SSL. I am very happy because of the first points. We had a motive more to play good tonight because of the guys who passed away last week...

RK Lovćen coach - Kasim Kamenica:

- Congratulations to Partizan on deserved victory. Their talent and youth made were dominant over our experience and fake skills. Good start wasn't enough to win the match. I don't want to underestimate victory of home team, but my players played awful in the second half. We had bad invidual performances and a lot of tactival errors.

RK Partizan - playmaker Igor Mršulja:

- I am happy because of win. Hopefully this will be the motive for some other victories in SEHA.

RK Lovćen - Draško Kaludjerović:

- We have been in Belgrade for three days in which we prepared the game. We began good, made some advantage, but at the end we didn't follow instructions of our coach.
