Handball players from Lovcen are at minus two after the first game

In the first match of the 1st round of the EHF Cup, there seemed to be no defense, as the handball players from Lovcen and Maccabi scored a total of 72 goals.

In the end, the Israelis rejoiced, celebrating with 37:35 (20:16), but the people of Cetinje didn't have too much reason to be sad either.

Namely, they saw that in tomorrow's rematch (19 p.m. our time) they can make up for the deficit and enter the second round, where the Macedonian Zomimak from Strumica is already waiting.

Maccabi was constantly in the lead, had a four-goal advantage at halftime, and at the beginning of the second half, it even reached plus six.

That's when Kasima Kamenica's pulenci moved on and overcame a tolerable deficit until the end.

"Maccabi has two good Serbian players, Butulija and Bošković, who gave us 19 goals. The rest are average, we could have won this game. I think we have a chance to eliminate them in the second leg," Lovcen sports director Željko Petričević told "Vijesti".
