Vojvodina ponovo bolja od NEXE-a
Serbian champion Vojvodina celebrated
another win in SEHA GSS league over Croation vicechampion NEXE from Našice 28:24
(14:12). Host team led by new-old coach Djordje Cirkovic has showed classy
performance and convincingly defeated their rival from Croatia once again after
the win in the first part of the season in Osijek (29:22). Vojvodina secured their
place in the middle of league’s table with this victory.
NEXE was fully motivated to take revenge from their rival. Sime Ivic began the match very good and it looked like the team coached by Zdenko Kordi had strength to celebrate. But then, at 7:10, Vojvodina’s series 6:1 led by man of the match Strahinja Stankovic , turned the match over until the half-time (14:12).
NEXE had no serious chance to turn over the match before the final whistle. Serbian team got another player on the highest level, Miljan Pusica, to finish the match with 7 goals. NEXE’s captain Marko Mrdjenovic has scored for the last hope 15:14, but host’s defence has crashed the rival. Vojvodina finished the job easily in the last ten minutes for new three points.
Perica Lelic, NEXE’s goalkeeper:
I’d like to thank Vojvodina on a fair match. We’ve started the match in a right way and then lost the tempo which we weren’t able to catch in the rest of the match. The end of the first half has decided the match.
Zdenko Kordi, NEXE’s coach:
In one part of the match we were really good, in the other, bigger, we weren’t and that’s something we have to work on. We were not today on a level from 7 days ago and to reach our goals we have to be on a high level all the time.
Strahinja Stankovic, Vojvodina’s player:
Very good match is behind us. We’ve started the match really slow but managed to catch the right tempo soon and control the match until the end. We’d like to congratulate oup opponents and now we’re turning to future and hope for new wins.
Djordje Cirkovic, Vojvodina’s coach::
I would like to congratulate guest team on a fair match and through fight. They were concentrated until the end and it is very hard to play against them.We couldn’t count on Elezovic for today’s match but other players were on a high level. We’ve managed to have only a few mistakes and win the match. I’m proud of my boys.
