Tatran has managed to show strenght in a duel against Radnički in Prešov beating them clearly with 43:28. Winner was decided after only 10 minutes with hosts leading 8:4 bringing it to big +9 (22:13) after first 30 minutes. Radnički's coach Vučković simply was not able to find a solution for Tatran's attacking tactics as well as how to break their tough defence.

Remarkable left winger Radoslav Antl was the man of the match with amazing 9 goals from as much attempts destroying all opponents hopes for a surprise today in Slovakia. Right winger Čip added 8, Krupa and Verkić have combined for 15 saves. Montenegrin pivot Nemanja Grbović was on the other side once again Radnički's best player, today with 7 goals, Rajčević added 4 and Dušan Petrović had 12 saves.

Radnički will in the next round have a chance to reach new points hosting NEXE and Tatran will on the other side travel to Hungary to play unbeatable Veszprem.

Peter David, Tatran's coach:

It was a fair and tough match. It did not look like it is going to be an easy game from the beginning, they were playing really good but we have prepared well, were concentrated and it has decided the match in an early phase. It is good that I was able to give chance to players who do not play so often.

Tomas Čip, Tatran's coach:

After 15 minutes we've managed to make a bigger goal difference which we were able to keep and enlarge through the whole first half. Thos were three important points.

Nedeljko Vučković, Radnički's coach:

Our goal here was to play as good as possible but we were not able to do it without few of our most important players. Our tempo was not good enough for such a good team like Tatran which is playing handball on CL's level. They have in the end managed to score many easy goals and that is why difference is so big in the end.

Bojan Tomić, Radnički's player:

We've played first 20 minutes really well and after that we've made too many technical mistakes. However, Tatran surely is the best team we have play against in the League so far.
