Nexe - Vojvodina 33:28 (15:11)

(Jelinic 7, Zrnic 6, Buvinic 6 / Jovanovic 8, Ostojic 6)

Hrvoje Horvat, Nexe coach:
Our main task in this one was to wash the bitter taste after our match in Zagreb. We did play much better today, more aggressive but we still need a lot more discipline. Both teams are still working on upgrading their form and I believe our match in Novi Sad will be a lot better. I decided to give some of our younger players some time in final 20 minutes because my opinion is we’ve got to do it as much as possible.

Marin Jelinic, Nexe player:
We prepared very well for this match sticking with our rhythm from the very beginning playing tough defense and running the court in transition. I’d like to thank our fans - this was my first match here in Nasice and only thing I’ve got to say is that it will be really nice to play here in case atmosphere like this occurs every time we play. 

Bosko Rudic, Vojvodina coach:
Great match, especially for Nexe. We’ve got to be honest and say they played a much better match than we did. We once again repeated some bad things like in the match against Dinamo with lots of technical errors and bad discipline. We knew they will most likely play aggressive 6-0 defense but were bad at opening it and damaging them from the very first minute.

Radovan Ostojic, Vojvodina player:
Congratulations to NEXE. They deserved to win. We’ve allowed them to score a lot of easy goals. Main reason for our loss today was lack of teamwork in my opinion.
