Big win for Radnički against Metalurg

Velika pobeda Radničkog protiv Metalurga

Radnički - Metalurg 7 (14/15)

Radnički from Kragujevac have managed to reach their second win in SEHA GSS League beating Metalurg with 29:24. Serbian vice-champions have had full control of the match through all 60 minutes routinely taking three points which have brought them a better position before the winter break.

Radnički’s best player today was Nemanja Grbović who was unstoppable with 9 goals and in away team Naumče Mojsovski scored 8. However, despite of Naumče’ great performance Lino Červar’ rejuvenated squad was not able to reach a win in Kragujevac which would keep their Final Four dreams at least a little alive.

Radnički have had biggest difference at the beginning of the second half leading 15:9 (+6) but a few great moves by Mojsovski and Talevski have brought the lead down to +3 (20:17). However, hosts did not let Macedonians overtake the match and they have slowly managed to bring the match to a close.

Nikola Kostevski, Metalurg’s player:

I congratulate Radnički on their win. We were here in rejuvenated squad, but I don’t want to underestimate victory of the home team. We’ve made a lot of technical mistakes, they scored a lot of easy goals. Once again, I want to congratulate Radnički on a fair match.

Aleksandar Bosić, Radnički’ player:

We’ve really given our best today and deserved to win against such a great team like Metalurg. We were focused through the whole match knowing that our defensive perfomance might be decisive. We were able to take control of the match and take three important points. Great win for us as newcomers in this League…

Lino Červar, Metalurg’s coach:

I want to congratulate Radnički on a victory. We came with younger squad here to Kragujevac but did not do what we’ve agreed on in the locker room.  

Nedeljko Vučković, Radnički’ coach:

This was a big victory for us. Thanks to our fans for support. We have been preparing for this match for about a week, we’ve done exactly what we had to and won without the thriller in the end. SEHA GSS is a huge experience for us.
