Raul Gonzalez, Vardar coach:
Metalurg have managed to deliver a good performance and make thismatch tough for us especially in the first half. We’ve improved in the second but they did not give up all the way until the end. We are now in a very good position as we’re on top of both SEHA League and our CL’s group.  Now we both have to focus on upcoming CL games.  

Strahinja Milic, Vardar player:
This match was very tough as it was expected. I have been playing these duels for 5 years now and I remember that it was never easy to play against our traditional rival. Congratulations to them on their fair game. Perhaps they’ve showed their best, which I can’t say about my team.

Lino Cervar, Metalurg coach:
Congratulations to Vardar on the tonight’s win and also congratulations on excellent handball they play in EHF Champions League. Their performance in Europe means success of whole Macedonian handball. We’ve tried to compete as much as we could and I have to express my gratitude to our players for fighting against a very good opponent.

Zarko Pesevski, Metalurg player:
Well-deserved win for Vardar. We’ve played a very good first half showing character and keeping close. I am proud of our performance but also a little bit disappointed because we didn’t manage take at least one point.
