Spartak - Tatran Presov 23:31 (13:15)

(Vinogradov 6 / Stranovsky 6, Rabek 9)

Oleg Kuleshov, Spartak coach:
Tatran are a very good team. We knew it is going to be a difficult game and we wanted to deliver best possible performance. At the beginning of the second we lost focus allowing opponents to take lead and we weren't able to get back later.

Ilya Ryabov, Spartak player:
We have delivered a good performance but we are not happy with the result. First half was better than the second one. We will analyze errors and work on improving. We've committed way too many mistakes in the second half, I don't know why.

Slavko Goluza, Tatran Presov coach:
I'd like to congratulate my team on the victory. Spartak are not an easy opponent to play against and we've prepared well for them. We've had a few problems in our squad but we've managed to overcome them playing with a lot of focus. I feel like that was the key but now we have to start focusing on the second game.

Roman Tsarapkin, Tatran Presov player:
It was far from easy. In the first half we made a lot of mistakes but we've managed to pull ourselves together. We were focused on both sides of the court and that provided us with a chance to take this win in the end.
