Spartak - Metaloplastika 36:32 (18:19)
(Kovalev 9, Dereven 7 / Maticic 8, Milic 8)

Veselin Vukovic, Metaloplastika coach:
Today we played the best 50 minutes of the season. We are a young team, which is running a lot, but today we had big problems in defense. But the time is playing for us, and I’m sure that my team will deserve a lot of victories in the future. I want to congratulate to my colleagues from Spartak. It was a good match. I’m also happy that Spartak won their first match in the SEHA - Gazprom League. I want to congratulate Mr. Kuleshov and wish him a good season. We will wait for you in Sabac and we want to be good hosts to them just as Spartak was to us.

Dejan Babic, Metaloplastika player:
We are disappointed with the result of today’s match. It was a great first half for us, but we failed in the second part of the match. It’s very difficult to explain. I can’t say, that the problem was in our physical conditions. The problem was only in our heads, because we are a very young team.

Oleg Kuleshov, Spartak coach:
I would like to congratulate my colleague on a good match. Metaloplastika are a very good team. They run fast, obviously this team has a lot of skilled players. They gave us a lot of problems today. The match turned out to be very intense and interesting. It’s good that in the end we were able to play great in defense, and then realized the moments in the attacks. Goalkeepers also helped us. Thanks to my guys for the first victory. It is very important for psychology and confidence. We also wish to the guest team a good season.

Nikita Samarskii, Spartak player:
For us it was a very important match. We are happy with this victory. This victory is important for our phyсhology. We started the season unsuccessfully, so now we don't have enough confidence. The coach gave me advices how to play in defense during the match. Metaloplastika attacked well in the first half, it was difficult for us to cope with them. In the second half, we conceded fewer goals and played much better overall.
