CO Zagreb Metalurg


CO Zagreb has in Zagreb Arena in front of 3,000 supporters hosted Metalurg as a part of 12. round of SEHA GSS league. This was their first clash this season as they will in a week play in Skopje because the match from the first part of the season was delayed due to full schedule both teams had.

 

Metalurg has started the match better led by great Vugrinec and goalkeeper Stanic. Zagreb's coach Dvorsek had to call a timeout in 15. minute when it was already +5 for guests. After that Zagreb started playing faster and got near in a few moments with fast transition and counter attacks. Vugrines was Metalurg's best player in the first half with 7 goals and Šebetić scored 3 for Zagreb.

 

In the second half Metalug was able to keep the difference achieved in the first. Zagreb woud come on -2 but then guest team's experienced players like Atman or Vugrinec would drag them back on bigger goal difference. In the end it was 25:30 for guests. Here are after match statements:

 

Lino Cervar, Metalurg's coach:

It was nice to come back to Zagreb after a long period. Speaking of the game I believe it was a good quality game. We were simply better today, it was our day. Our good defence has along with too many Zagreb's clear misses decided the match.

 

Rade Mijatovic, Metalurg's goalkeeper:

This was a very good game. We've played concentrated in defence and had great Stanic between the bars. Our patience in attack has by this brought us win.

 

Boris Dvorsek, CO Zagreb's coach:

This match has beside loss brought us something new and those are Obranovic, Sebetic and Coric. Experience Metalurg's players like Atman, Vugrinec or Stanic has decided the match.

 

Teo Coric, CO Zagreb's pivot:

We have big realization problem, we're missing too many clear shots. We now have to prepare in the best way possible for the match in Skopje and I believe that only thing we have to do is copy our game from practices on matches. Anyway, great match.
