28.09.2022, 09:00 GROUP A REVIEW: With the stellar performances of Dino Slavic and Timur Dibirov, Zagreb won their first Machineseeker EHF Champions League game of the season |
||
While Zagreb did not manage to display their best handball in the first two games of the season, they definitely made up for it tonight. In the clash between the only two sides that did not have a point in group A, they completely outplayed Porto. Relying on their usual strong defence, Zagreb also managed to score some easy goals on fastbreaks to break away, increasing their advantage after the break. Timur Dibirov (10 goals) and Dino Slavic (14 saves) were instrumental for their team as the hosts really put up a proper team effort to take their first points of the season. GROUP A
Another day at the office for Timur Dibirov You probably have already read and heard all about Timur Dibirov. But tonight’s performance shows that the 39 year-old remains clutch when he needs to be. Not only did he score ten goals, but tonight his defensive steals were maybe even more important. While Porto were trying to come back using their seven against six tactics, Dibirov stole two balls and scored in the empty goal, giving his team the momentum to cruise away to victory.
