Gorenje deliver against Zagreb as Brumen leads them towards big win

Brumen vodil Gorenje do velike zmage proti Zagrebu

Gorenje Velenje - PPD Zagreb

Second defeat for PPD Zagreb this season and fourth win for Gorenje in SEHA Gazprom League. Hosts have from the beginning managed to set the tempo high giving Zagreb loads of headache. Guests were trying to level the score throughout the whole match but they did not succeed with Brumen, Klec, Levc and great Zaponsek between posts bringing their fans a lot to be happy about. It's also important to add that they were playing without key players Toskic and Mitrovic. Brumen was leading the team from Velenje with 6 goals, Zlatko Horvat netted 8 for PPD Zagreb.

PPD Zagreb will already on Saturday in Varazdin host Veszprem and after that, Veszprem will on December 15th travel to Velenje to meet Gorenje. 

Borut Plaskan, Gorenje Velenje coach:
We deserve this win as we've worked very hard for it. We were able to stay in control of the game throughout the whole encounter. There were some bad moments on our side in both halves but our players did in the end show will and strenght winning this. We did not have many players on disposal due to injuries but those who did step on the court today delivered their best.

Silvio Ivandija, PPD Zagreb coach:
Congratulations to team of  Velenje, they were better today. We were not focused enough making too many mistakes. Our next match is the one against Veszprem and that will be a real derby. I expect my players to play much better in that one.   

Rok Ovnicek, Gorenje Velenje player:
From start all the way until the final whistle we were able to keep the rhythm high as agreed. Fans really were our eighth player today. I hope they will be as loud in our upcoming home matches.

Congratulations to Gorenje Velenje on this win, they've delivered one of their best performances so far this season. Match did not end in the way we wanted and I hope we'll win again soon.
