Well deserved win for Zagreb which was never questionable. They are an amazing young team battling well even in Champions League and I'd like to congratulate them on that. We're doing everything to prepare best we can for the clash against Spartak in a few days in which we'll look for points which might in the end be crucial for placement on League's Final tournament.
Veselin Vujović, PPD Zagreb' coach:
Final result is not real considering events on court tonight but to be honest it was not so important to me at all. I am satisfied with what I've seen from my players in both attack and defense. Vojvodina are playing good handball, i?ve watched some of their CL's matches and I wish them all the best.
Nikola Arsenić, Vojvodina' player:
We were playing well in the first part and slowed down in the second mainly in defense in order to be prepared for Spartak best we can. Congrats to Zagreb!
