Metalurg - Izvidjac 27:27 (14:11) (Serafimov 6, Silegov 6 / Delic 6, Alilovic 4) Danilo Brestovac, Metalurg coach: What makes me happy is that we've for the first time this season had full roster at disposal.

In the second match of the day Metalurg and Izvidjac played an extremely interesting game in Skopje which in the end finished with a 27:27 draw after hosts failed to score from what was the final attack of the encounter. That way neither team managed to reach premier win of the season but at least they both reached their first SEHA point of the season escaping the very bottom of League's table. Macedonians have more to feel sorry about failing to score...

Vardar - Steaua Bucuresti 27:21 (15:11) (Kristopans 5, Kiselev 5 / Vegar 6, Humet 5) Ovidiu Mihaila, Steaua Bucharest coach: We've committed too many turnovers in the first allowing Vardar to score many easy counter-attack goals.
