NEXE took another victory (23:17) in front of their audience in Našice. Victory against Maks Strumica "rookie" team in SEHA Gazprom league is also fourth in this season's eight matches. Macedonian vice champion played a brave game. Expecially excellent part was their goalkeeper Blagojče Trajkoski but he wasn't enough for surprise. NEXE's victory was clear and it happened without any suspense but it wasn't easy like many people expected before the match. Kordi had lots of critics for his players after the match. Of course, NEXE also has a few heroes like line player Damir Halilković and their goalkeeper Perica Lelić who is "leader" of excellent defense in front of him.

Zdenko Kordi, NEXE's coach:

They've surprised us with excellent aproach. Of course I am satisfied with the victory but I can't congratulate to all my players on a good game. We didn't give 100% of what we can. On the other side our defense was very correct.

Perica Lelić, NEXE's goalkeeper:

We had some problems in attack with scoring. Maks Strumica goalkeeper was excellent. On the other side our defense was good. Defence wins matches and that's rule we have to follow in upcoming matches.  

Marjan Andonov, Maks Strumica's coach:

We've played much better match than we used to before. Especially our goalkeeper was excellent. We have some problems with injuries so I can be satisfied with approach and some parts of the match.

Blagojce Trajkoski, Maks Strumica's goalkeeper:

NEXE is a better team and they were favorites before the match. The match finished without any suprise. Of course my opinion is also that we were playing better today with more will than in previous matches. With that I am satisfied but of course I can't be satisfied with final result.
