Metalurg versus Kielce in pictures

There will be at least one debutant team at the VELUX EHF FINAL4 in Cologne on 1 and 2 June and they come from the match HC Metalurg Skopje vs Vive Targi Kielce. The EHF photo team captured the action from the first leg match of the VELUX EHF Champions League Quarter-finals in a sold-out Boris Trajkovski arena in Macedonian capital. Here is a selection of the photos from photographer, Axel Heimken.

Two great coaching names of European handball showed a lot of emotions
