Last night, Montenegrin handball players defeated Poland away from home 26:20 in the third round of qualification for the European Championship, finishing the job of placing in the final, probably also winning the first place in the group, which brings a better position in the draw for the championship.
Majda Mehmedović scored six goals from six shots, but the match in Gdina will be remembered for the collision with Eva Urtnovska at the end of the first half, when her nose bled profusely.
Despite that, she played in the rest of the match.
"I hope I didn't break my nose. There was a lot of blood, but I can breathe. My nose hurts and it's swollen, but I guess it's not broken," said the brilliant left winger.
The CSM Bucharest player believes that Montenegro played the match excellently.
"We entered the match much better. We didn't have much time to prepare, but we prepared very well, recorded their strongest weapons, stopped the key players and finished the job. We were motivated, everyone who entered the game made a great contribution." .
In two days in Bijelo Polje, the "Lionesses" can solve all dilemmas about winning the 1st place in group 2 against last night's rival.
"There is no relaxation, we want to show a good game again. Anđela Bulatović and I, given that we have not played for the national team in Montenegro for a long time, we are eager for the fans and the home field. We practically qualified for the European Championship, but the remaining games will it's good to come to play in and for something bigger and better to come," said Mehmedović.
Marina Rajčić had another good performance in goal.
"The Polish women played at the expected level, but we responded to the task. We played aggressively, closed down the best players of our rivals, Kudlač and Ahruk. We prepared well for them, that brought us victory, and the defense was as we imagined. I believe that we will play even better in some segments on Saturday. We can go far, we must not miss this chance," said Rajčić
