Congratulation to Veszprém. I agree with my coach, we played badly in the first half. We did not controll the game, that was the problem. We could come back in the second half, but Corrales saved fantastic today, that was the main reason of our loss.

 

 

Congratulation to both team, we played a huge game. In the second half they came back to the game because of our mistakes. I am proud of my team, there was a lovely atmosphere in the Arena. I hope we can reach another victories fighting together like we did it today.
