Tatran luckier, Urban’s goal for the first place

Tatran Lovcen


Slovakian champion HC Tatran Presov has won thriller in Novi Sad against Serbian champion Vojvodina 25:24 (9:13) in the match of SEHA GAZPROM SSL round 12. Clash in "Slana Bara" was totally different from the one in Presov two months ago in which Peter Hatalcik’s team celebrated convincingly. Serbian champion was on good level tonight, in the last match in 2013, close to beat SEHA leader, but Slovaks managed to win at the end with the winning goal of Tomas Urban, the TOP scorer of tonight's match with 10 scores.

Match was really exciting for all the fans who came to watch as Vojvodina had lead in 57. minute - 24:23, when Zoran Nikolic scored the last goal for his team on tonight's match. Kristopans and Urban have after that brought the points to the leader from Presov...

Dragan Kukic, Vojvodina’s coach:

I would like to congratulate Tatran for the win and congratulate all my players for the effort they put in this game. Tatran is team that scores many goals and we managed to stop them at 25. But it was not enough. Red cards for Holpert and Elezovic were very big problem for us, at the finish of the game we missed some important shots and lost the game.

Peter Hatalcik, Tatran’s coach:

I would like to congratulate Vojvodina,we expected tough match,we know that Vojvodina plays very good at home. We played first half very bad but managed to recover in the second. Tacticaly we played much better in the second half.

Svetislav Verkic, Tatran’s player:

I would like to congratulate Vojvodina for very good match. We didn’t play very good but we had more luck in the end and won important points.

Zoran Nikolic, Vojvodina’s player:

I would like to congratulate my teammates for good effort and team Tatran for the win. We played most of the match very good and that is the way to play in the future.  I am surely not satisfied with a loss but we have to move on.
