Mikić and Obradović for Borac' first win
Mikić i Obradović povukli Borac do prve pobjede
After the great clash in Borik against Radnički Borac have managed to reach their first win of the season and 'jump over' Vojvodina on League's table. It was again a two goal difference match just like in Kragujevac less than a month ago but this time Borac was better with 34:32 which means that, in case they finish the regular season with the same amount of points - goal difference will decide about positions.
Borac started good but Radnički was keeping up well which has brought them +2 on half-time - 18:16. Ratko Nikolić was remarkable with 9 goals from 9 attempts but Grbović and Gugleta were playing well bringing guests back on +3. Hosts have in the end woken up completely, Obradović and Mikić were unstoppable, Abadžić was great on goal and Borac have in front of their fans reached their first win of the season. Already mentioned Nikolić was Borac' best scorer with 9, Mikić added 6, Obradović 5 with Abadžić' 10 saves. Gugleta has on the other side scored 7 for the team from Kragujevac, Grbović 6 with Petrović' 12 saves.
Nedeljko Vučković, Radnički' coach:
Borac were waiting patiently for their five minutes and they've used their chance great in the end. We were playing really good in first 45 minutes and it makes me not satisfied with this result, I believe we've deserved at least a point. Coach Rađenović has decided to return goalkeeper Abadžić in the right moment...
Ivan Milinčić, Radnički' player:
I believe we were playing well having two big chances to take complete control of the match. Borac were in the end luckier and it has brought them victory.
Igor Rađenović, Borac m:tel's coach:
Radnički has today deserved to win, it would not be a surprise if they did. We were in the end luckier although they've had control of the match through first 45 minutes. Abadžić was remarkable in the end, our most important player.
Milan Đukić, Borac m:tel's player:
In the end it was the real Borac, we've played like we knew best. After being on -2 after the first half we've agreed on some things in the locker room and we did it.
Both teams will in the next round travel to Macedonian capital with Borac playing against Metalurg and Radnički against Vardar.
