Rukometaši skopskog Vardara nastavili su put ka SEHA GAZPROM F4 turniru pobedom u Novom Sadu nad Vojvodinom 31:26 (16:15). Srpski šampion bio je motivisan da napravi iznenađenje, a favorit iz Skoplja je slomio otpor rivala tek u poslednjih desetak minuta serijom 9:3 (sa 22:23) koju je predvodio španski as Aleks Dušebajev.
Iako je makedonski šampion serijom 6:0 već posle petnaestak minuta nagovestio da je u "Slanu baru" došao po bodove - 12:7 (18.), Toskić, Dibirov i društvo imali su ozbiljnijeg takmaca nego što su to očekivali. Do poluvremena, Vojvodina je predvođena Todorovićem, Jovanovićem i Orbovićem došla do egala - 15:15.
I u drugom delu nastavljena je borba gol za gol, a Novosađani su preko Miloša Orbovića poslednji put došli u vođstvo u 48. minutu (23:22). Tada je na scenu stupila duža klupa gostiju, a Aleks Dušebajev je sa pet golova u sedam minuta postao igrač utakmice.
Dragan Kukić, trener Vojvodine:
- Čestitam mojim igračima. Pokazali smo borbeni duh. Igrali smo dobro u oba poluvremena. Vardar je imao više igrača u rotaciji, zato su mogli da slave u finišu. To je vrhunski tim. Nadam se da ćemo moći da ponovimo ovakvu igru i protiv Nexe-a.
Zoran Nikolić, pivot Vojvodine:
- Veoma sam nesrećan jer nismo ostvarili bolji rezultat. Držali smo se 50 minuta, čestitam mojim saigračima. Nadam se da ćemo ovako odigrati i protiv Nexe-a.
Raul Gonzales, trener Vardara:
- Vojvodina je igrala veoma dobro, nije se predavala ni kada smo vodili 4-5 golova. Našli su način da se vrate u meč i povedu. Čestitame Strahinji Miliću koji je odbranio tri sedmerca.
Strahinja Milić, golman Vardara:
- Težak meč, Vojvodina je igrala veoma dobro. Nismo bili dobri. Želim Vojvodini da ostvari dobre rezultate u narednim mečevima.
