Borac and Vojvodina still without a win
Borac i Vojvodina i dalje bez pobjede, Novosađani spasili -4
Borac and Vojvodina are still without a win in SEHA GSS League. After a thriller in Borik they have both managed to reach only a point, despite of the fact that hosts were on +4 only 5 minutes before the end. But, Borac has then stopped playing giving Bojan Todorović a chance to help Vojvodina reach a tie in Banja Luka. This is a good result for guests playing against Bosnian champions without two of their most important players - Elezović and Datukashvili. They were playing quality handball, especially in defence stopping one of home team's most important attackers Branislav Obradović. In an interesting ending Borac' team was 5 minutes before the end close to their first win but after such an ending they can be grateful for a point.
Borac' best player of the match was Milan Đukić with 8 goals, Abadžić, former Vojvodina's goalkeeper now wearing jersey of the team from Banja Luka , was great with 12 saves in the second half. Speaking of guests Bojan Perović had 12 saves, Boban Živković scored 5, Srđan Veljković 5, Zoran Nikolić 4.
Igor Rađenović, Borac m:tel' coach:
We've had a huge chance for a first win, +4 only 5 minutes until the end and a counter attack. I have to be honest despite of all that and say that Vojvodina was really playing good, even deserved a win which they would probably reach if our goalkeeper Abadžić was not between bars. In the end we've made series of mistakes which makes a point good but we have to finish matches we're winning better in future, we'll work on that.
Stanko Abadžić, Borac m:tel' goalkeeper:
Vojvodina has today showed they are a good team. We are really sorry for missing a big chance we've had for 3 points but that's us. Our mistakes have given them a chance to comeback and 'steal' these 2 points from us. But that's us, we have to forget this, keep our heads up and go on...
Đorđe Ćirković, Vojvodina's coach:
We have to be delighted with the result trailing by 4 only few minutes before the end. We have to play good at home against opponents of our level to leave Borac and Radnički underneath us on League's table in the end which is our goal. We've improvised much, two young backs it hard to play like that...
Bojan Perović, Vojvodina's goalkeeper:
Oustanding handball atmosphere, interesting match, quality handball. Considering the fact we were playing without Elezović and Datukashvili we can be satisfied.
Borac will in the next round host Radnički and Vojvodina will travel to Brest to meet Meshkov.
