The real handball spectacle has been seen in the
heart of Šumadija where Radnički was given a chance to host one of Europe’s
best teams MKB MVM Veszprem. In the end, in front of their home fans, hosts
have performed above their limits losing with only -4, 24:28. Coach Vučković has, before the match stated
that his players will surely do their best and play brave against stronger
opponent and that’s exactly what they did. Hungarians have had a lot of
problems for more than 40 minutes with catching the rhytm against fully
motivated hosts.
In the first half hosts were playing outstanding,
especially in defence which was leading them to fast, counter attack goals and
Veszprem was not able to find a solution to enlarge the goal gap. With Šmigić’
goal in the final minute, Radnički has managed to catch half-time lead at
16:15. However, it was not enough for any bigger surprise. Guests were playing
better in the second half, much more concentrated catching Radnički’s narrow
lead and taking complete control of the match.
Gugleta and Rajičević were home team’s best scorers
with 4 goals each. Marguč was on the other side unstoppable for their defence
scoring 9 goals.

Carlos Ortega, MKB MVM Veszprem’s coach:

after all.
Nedeljko Vučković,
Radnički’ coach:
We
were really happy to have such an opportunity to play and represent Serbian

Congratulations

Praznik rukometa u Šumadiji opravdao je očekivanja.

vođstvu do 37.minuta (20:19). Vesprem ubacuje u brzinu više i serijom 4:0
svojih krila Ugaldea i Marguča, uz dobru rolu srednjeg beka Lekaia, menja ritam
