Backcourt magic Both teams have powerful backcourt players but three names stand out. For Nexe Halil Jaganajc and Predrag Vejin were crucial. The first one was buoyant from left back, bringing victory and also scoring nine times. Vejin used his smart plays to make him key player on the court, topping it off with eight goals. On the other side, once again, Augustin Casado Marcelo had his night. After scoring ten against Magdeburg, he continued producing big numbers. From his centre back position he was precise nine times in Nasice and added six assists with it. TEXT: EHF / Danijela Vekić |
