Borac eight with Mikić' series deciding the match
Borac osmi, Mikić velikom serijom srušio Nexe
Banja Luka has on Wednesday hosted last match of League's regular part of the season. Hosts Borac have in a thriller ending managed to beat NEXE and reach position eight on League's table. Despite of the loss, guys from Našice remain sixth securing Final tournament where they will, in so called little semis on Wednesday (17.45 CET) play Meshkov. Guests were in lead for about 55 minutes, they have even had 25:28 less than 5 minutes before the end and it seemed that winner has already been decided. That is when Mirko Mikić stepped in scoring final for goals for the team from Banja Luka bringing them to new victory. By him, it is important to mention Nikolić and Trivundža who have also, along with goalkeeper Jokanović had a great night. NEXE were not able to make until the end, Albin Eter came back with 8 goals, Celebi scored 7 - not enough for a win today.
Igor Rađenović, Borac m:tel's coach:
We were not better at all for about 50 minutes. Last 5 minutes have however decided the match, to be more precise our tough defence, Mikić' two counter attacks... We were not playing well but managed to reach victory.
Petar Jokanović, Borac m:tel's goalkeeper:
I believe NEXE were a better team today but luck was in the end on our side and we have managed to finish the season with a win.
Zdenko Kordi, NEXE's coach:
I think Borac are a very good team, not giving up until the end with their crowd boosting them with strenght and confidence. I am pleased with first 40 minutes but our bench players did not perform on required level today which was a problem in the end.
Celebi Can, NEXE's player:
We've played well for 50 minutes but lost concentration in the end. Cngrats to Borac.
