Before throw-off, Nantes knew they could either finish first in the group with a win, second or third with a draw, or third with a loss, as GOG had lost their game in Lemgo earlier. Despite playing level all game long with its opponents, the French side could not stop Lazar Kukic in the second half. The Serbian centre-back had one hell of a game, being crucial for Benfica on every action before scoring the winning goal for his team in the final minute. GROUP B: SL Benfica (POR) vs HBC Nantes (FRA) 31:30 (15:16)
Crazy second half for Lazar Kukic The Serbian centre-back was key for Benfica, and the six goals he scored does not fully tell the impact he made on the game. Kukic was involved in almost every positive action for Benfica, either delivering assists or scoring goals on his own. No surprise, then, that he took responsibility for the last shot, scoring the game winner for the hosts. That came just minutes after he limped off the court, but Kukic did not want to let anyone down tonight. TEXT: EHF / Kevin Domas |
