Croatian vice-champions NEXE Našice have
managed to reach their first win of the season beating Vojvodina 24:26 (15:13)
in 'Slana bara' sports hall in Novi Sad. Kordi's boys have showed remarkable
fighting spirit turing the match over in last 15 minutes from -5 to their favor
mostly due to their strong defence which has allowed them to make decisive 5:1
series.
NEXE have opened the match better but hosts
have made 4:0 series less than 10 minutes before the half-time whistle led by
Nikolić which has brought them 15:13 half-time lead. Vojvodina was dominating
all the way to 43rd minute of the match when Marjanović scored for 20:15 but
from that moment on NEXE were completely different team on wings of both of
their wingers Nuić and Božić-Pavletić.
Nikolic was top scorer for home team with 6
goals, while Božić-Pavletić, Barišić-Jaman and Nuić netted 4 each for the
winners.
Zdenko Kordi, NEXE's coach:
I think that crowd was enjoying during the
game. We saw a lot of changes in results and good goalkeepers. We came back
after losing against PPD Zagreb in a match in which we were close to win. I
wish Vojvodina good luck in Champions League.
Nikola Marković, Vojvodina's coach:
The crowd was supporting us, they gave their
best. Unfortunately, we didn’t win. This defeat hurts. We tried 3-2-1 defense
and then got back to 6-0 which worked well. However, we did not have a good
solution in attack for rival’s 5-1 defense. We still have a lot to work on.
Marin Vegar, NEXE's player:
We are very happy but it could have been
different. It was a very tough match. We must now turn our focus on new
matches.
Danimir Ćurković, Vojvodina's player:
Congratulations to NEXE. They did not give up
even when they were down by five goals. We have ourselves to blame. We've
dropped the victory.
Rukometaši našičkog Nexe-a slavili su prvu
pobedu u novoj sezoni SEHA GAZPROM lige u Novom Sadu gde su savladali domaću
Vojvodinu 26:24 (13:15). U uzbudljivom duelu kakav se očekivao od rivala
približnog kvaliteta, Našičani su odigrali fantastično poslednjih petnaestak
minuta i nadoknadili veliku prednost Novosađana, koja je iznosila i +5. Tim
Zdenka Kordija je u potpunosti neutralisao napad srpskog šampiona u poslednjih
devet minuta meča i serijom 5:1 spakovao bodove za Slavoniju.
Meč je protekao u pravoj rezultatskoj
klackailici, koja je u prvih 20 minuta pretezala na stranu gostiju. Našičani su
preko kapitena Mrđenovića posle deset minuta imali 7:4, da bi Novosađani preko
raspucanog Zorana Nikolića do 20. minuta izjednačili na 10:10. Upravo je
borbeni pivotmen kumovao seriji 4:0 koja je srpskom timu donela prednost na
poluvremenu - 15:13.
Dominacija Novosađana se nastavila sve do
43. minuta i velikih +5 - 20:15, koju je donela prevashodno dobra odbrana tima
Nikole Markovića. Po istom receptu, vratio se hrvatski vicešampion u meč,
dozvolivši domaćinu da postigne samo četiri gola za poslednjih 17 minuta. U
samo četiri minuta Nuić i Božić Pavletić približili su svoj tim na 20:19, kada
se ušlo u igru gol za gol.
Nikolić je odveo Vojvodinu poslednji put na
+2 u 51. minutu - 23:21, a od tada je na terenu postojao samo jedan tim.
Furioznih 5:0 Etera, Zrnića, Barišić-Jamana i Mrđenovića, presudila je na
stranu gostiju.
Najefikasniji kod domaćina bio je Nikolić
sa šest pogodaka, dok su po četiri kod pobednika postigli Nuić, Božić-Pavletić
i Barišić-Jaman.
Zdenko Kordi, trener RK Nexe:
Hvala Vojvodini na gostoprimstvu i
sjajnoj organizaciji. Publika je uživala. Bilo je puno preokreta i lepih
odbrana golmana. Vratili smo se posle meča u Zagrebu gde smo bili blizu pobede.
Želim Vojvodini puno sreće u EHF Ligi šampiona.
Nikola Marković, trener RK Vojvodina:
Imali smo podršku navijača, dali su seve
od sebe. Nažalost, nismo pobedili, i ovaj poraz boli. Probali smo 3-2-1
odbranu. Imali smo našu 6-0 odbranu, i to je funkcionisalo. Međutim, imali smo
problema u napadu na njihovu 5-1. Još uvek moramo mnogo da radimo.
Marin Vegar, levi bek RK NEXE:
Srećni smo, a moglo je bit ii drugačije.
Bio je ovo težak meč. Moramo se sada okrenuti sledećim mečevima.
Danimir Ćurković, kapiten RK Vojvodina:
Čestitke Nexe-u. Nisu se predali kada su
bili pet golova u minusu. Sami smo krivi za poraz. Ispustili smo pobedu.
