Meshkov Brest - Vojvodina

In just three days Meshkov Brest have reached second victory over Vojvodina, this time in SEHA Gazprom League with 31:22 (12:10).

With this triumph hosts will remain on top of the table with 9 points while Vojvodina stay on the bottom with only 2 points from six matches. Both teams will now face short regional league brake and preparations for CL.

Guests' hopes did not last for long. In first 10 minutes of the match they lead 5-3 but Meshkov got back soonly to take the lead which they have easily maintained until half time whistle. Hosts have finally decided winner in the beginning of second 30 minutes enlarging the gap to +7.

Sergei Bebeshko, Meshkov’s coach

Both teams looked tired. It's not optimal to play two official games in a row within 48 hours. We looked well in the first half in defense. It's obvious that our center back Tioumentsev has not had the perfect game but it's normal for this period. Then we've showed good form in the second half like in the previous game in EHF Champions League. Pešić was good in the second half and defense also supported him. I would like to thank players for their attitude. All players contributed to the result except Pavel Atman who is still injured. 

Siarhei Shylovich, Meshkov's player:

Our defense looked well playing 5-1 with close guard of one of center backs. I think this result is excellent. It was not easy to play against the same team in short period of time, but we reached our goal.

Nikola Marković, Vojvodina’s coach:

Some players are injured so we had certain problems in this game. I used right winger as a center back. Therefore it was hard to organize game in attack. We showed good performance in the first half. However we did not use our chances. Everything turned to be like in the Champions League game: Meshkov Brest started to play faster and won. 

Luka Arsenić, Vojvodina’s player:

We played well in the first half like in the Champions League game few days ago but again missed much chances in the second half. Now we have one week before the next game in the Champions League. We'll try to improve our performance during this period.
