Sensational Borac and Stefan Janković
Senzacionalni Borac i Stefan Janković
Borac has managed to create a big surprise in Borik sports hall beating favorized Tatran clearly with 37:30 on wings of outstanding Stefan Janković with 13 goals. Second win for Borac this season, perhaps when it was least expected, which has pushed them up from the bottom and put Tatran in a tougher position than expected in a race for League's third place. After first 30 minutes Borac was surprisingly up by 7 with 19:12 which sounded a little strange against such a strong opponent. Stefan Janković was unstoppable. However, it was expected for Tatran to put the tempo up in the second half and maybe even catch hosts. Antl was remarkable once again but MVP of the match Janković, as well as whole Borac' team, was playing too good to allow guests to overtake control of the match. Before the end it was huge +9, in the end 37:30.
Igor Rađenović, Borac m:tel's coach:
We were losing in Prešov with 20 goal difference, we were even a bit afraid but everything was working amazingly for us today. Čelić played outstanding against Kristopans and they were on the other side changing defences trying to stop our attack which was working remarkable today. Big surprise and huge motivation for the future.
Stefan Janković, Borac m:tel's player:
We've opened the match outstandingly. Key for our win was defence on Rabek and Kristopans - their best scorers as well as outstading Abadžić on our goal. We were even able to run the court most of the time scoring easy goals which was not usual in previous matches this season. Our supporters were great again too!
Peter David, Tatran's coach:
We were not playing good in defence, we did not manage to find the right solution for their attack. In moments when we were only 4 goals down we weren't able to overtake the match and it was costly. Borac was playing great especially Abadžić and Janković who were best in Borac' deserved win today.
Vasja Furlan, Tatran's player:
Borac have prepared great for the match and despite of the fact they've lost with big goal difference in Prešov they've proved they are a good team. I am a bit disappointed, we did not expect it but now we have to move on and get back into series of good matches.
