In the next round PPD Zagreb will travel to Ljubuski to meet Izvidac and on the other side Gorenje will play in Skopje against Vardar.    

Veselin Vujovic, PPD Zagreb coach:
We've managed to take advantage of mistakes young Gorenje's players were comitting. In this moment we are a better team and I think this was a good thing ahead of our duel in Celje. 

David Miklavcic, PPD Zagreb player:
Opening was important with defense and Skok pointing the match in our direction. In the second half we were not on the highest level allowing them to score some easy goals and that is a thing we still have to work on. We have to forget this as soon as possible and turn to Celje. 

Marko Sibila, Gorenje coach:
We are satisfied with the match. We were a bit too much impressed with our opponent making mistakes we usually don't make. New experience for us that's for sure, we're trying to grow from match to match. 

Niko Medved, Gorenje player:
We're struggling and not playing good. Zagreb is a quality team. They were in control of the match from the first minute. In the next round we'll have a strong opponent and we see it as a chance to make things better in Skopje.
