minute of the match with the winning goal of Igor Karacic 40 seconds until the

From the very beginning, young players of Aleksandar Brkovic

go to the half-time break with the advantage - 15:16.

both teams. Partizan made 4:0 series for 20:18 with Marsenic and Ilic in the
key roles. Home team had 22:19 before Vardar made 5:0 series for 24:22.
Chipurin scored for 26:23, but Partizan didn't give up.
Marsenic scored for 27:27 three minutes until the final
whistle. He had a chance to put his team in lead in the next attack, but
Malumbres saved his shot. Vardar's bench took a time-out 48 seconds till the
end. Igor Karacic scored winning goal a few seconds later. Partizan had a
chance for a draw, but Marsenic didn't find a net of Inaki Malumbres...

with 6 goals...
Mijailo Marsenic, Partizan’s player:
- Congratulations to the Vardar , but I'm proud of my
teammates. We played two fantastic games, high intensity in four days . We have
earned at least point, but I hope it will come back to us when we need it most,
in the national playoffs .
Aleksandar Brkovic,
Partizan’s coach :
- It turned out as if we were playing derby , it was a
game in which one ball has decided the match. Congratulations to my players .
We have seen our chance in opponent’s hard schedule. I feel bad that we did not win at least a
point , when we have already had a chance , but the very fact that we have
achieved more than 25 goals , and play egal with Vardar is a huge boost for us
.

Vardar’s player

Congratulations to Partizan on a good game, we did not expect such resistance.
They were really fast and good in defence. I am glad we managed to win this.
Andon Boskovski , Vardar’s coach
- It seemed like home team wanted this win more , we’ve
entered to the game like " it would be easy" . However , no matter
how large club we are, or how great players we have, we must go in every game
one hundred percent focused and committed . I wish Partizan best of luck in future with all these
great fans. - said Boskovski
U neizvesnom duelu na beogradskoj "Banjici", favorizovani skopski Vardar odneo je ceo plen Partizanu - 28:27 (16:15). Do pobede je nekompletni sastav makedonskog šampiona došao praktično u poslednjem minutu, golom Igora Karačića na 40 sekundi pre kraja i odbranom Injakija Malumbresa u poslednjim trenucima, posle šuta Mijaila Marsenića. Upravo je španski golman bio i junak meča, s obzirom da je njegova mreža ostala začarana za mlade igrače Partizana u poslednja tri minuta.
Od samog starta, videla se želja mladog sastava Aleksandra Brkovića da pruži dostojan otpor jednoj od najjačih ekipa u SEHA GAZPROM SSL. Poveo je Vardar preko Karačića 7:4, ali to nije obeshrabrilo domaći tim. Par minuta dobre odbrane i lakih golova iz kontri, doveli su Kostadinovića u poziciju da izjednači na 9:9 u 14. minutu, a najraspoloženiji u bekovskoj postavi, desni bek Aleksandar Radovanović, doneo je i prvo vođstvo crno-belima 11:10 četiri minuta kasnije.
Imao je Partizan i napad za +3 pri rezultatu 14:12, ali se Vardar uozbiljio i zaigrao posle tajm-auta Andona Boškovskog, dovoljno dobro da preokrene rezultat za par minuta i na odmor ode sa prednošću - 15:16.
Drugo poluvreme donelo je puno preokreta. Igor Karačić je nastavio da dominira u napadu gostiju, postigavši gol za +2 (18:16), ali podrške nije imao, pa je usledila serija Beograđana 4:0 za 20:18. Imali su problema Skopljanci da zaustave dvojac Marsenić - Ilić na bekovskim pozicijama, pa je tako pomenuto levo krilo sa pozicije srednjeg beka donelo i +3 svom timu - 22:19 u 36. minutu.
Ponovo je usledilo uozbiljavanje Vardara, serija 5:0, koju su zaključili Ilija Abutović i Igor Karačić efektnim golovima sa bekovske pozicije - 22:24. Činilo se da će Vardar slomiti otpor domaćina par minuta kasnije, kada je Čipurin povisio na 23:26, ali se Beograđani nisu predali do samog kraja.
Priključak je uhvaćen golom Marsenića za 27:27 na manje od tri minuta pre kraja. Usledio je tajm-aut Brkovića, kada su crno-beli imali šansu da povedu, ali nisu uspeli. Andon Boškovski uzima tajm-aut 48 sekundi pre kraja, a nakon njega, Igor Karačić karakterističnim šutom "ispod ruke" donosi pobedu svom timu. Partizan je imao poslednji napad, ali je šut Marsenića u poslednjoj sekundi zaustavio Malumbres...
Mijailo Marsenić, igrač Partizana:
- Čestitke Vardaru, ali sam ponosan na moje drugare iz ekipe. Odigrali smo dve fantastične utakmice, visokog intenziteta u četiri dana. Zaslužili smo makar bod, ali nadam se da će nam se vratiti kada nam bude najviše trebalo u domaćem plej -ofu.
Aleksandar Brković , trener Partizana:
- Ispalo je kao da smo igrali derbi, bila je to utakmica na jednu loptu. Čestitam mojim igračima. Našu šansu smo videli u protivnikovoj zasićenosti velikim utakmicama. Krivo mi je što nismo svojili bod, kad nam se već ukazala prilika, ali i sama činjenica da smo postigli više od 25 golova, a ne igrali egal sa Vardarom je ogromna podsticaj za nas.
Ilija Abutovic , igrač Vardara:
- Čestitam Partizanu na dobroj utakmici, nismo očekivali ovakav otpor, bili su brzi, mnogo trčalii, mi loši u odbrani- kazao je bivši kapiten crno-belih.
Andon Boškovski , trener Vardara:
- Protivnik je više želeo pobedu, mo smo ušli u utakmicu po sistemu "lako ćemo". Međutim, bez obzira koliko smo veliki klub, igrački, finansijski, ipak moramo u svaku utakmicu da ulazimo sto odsto koncentrisani i posvećeni. Slabije smo ušli u utakmicu, umalo da izgubimo bod... Partizanu želim mnogo sreće, a treba svi zajedno da podržimo ovo što rade crno-beli, jer to rukomet zaslužuje, treba da budu državni projekat, lepo je da ova dvorana bude uvek puna - poručio je Boškovski.
