The second day of action during the Champions League 2nd round weekend saw OSC and Mladost winning absolute thrilling encounters with the Hungarian side close to group win after collecting their second straight victory. At home the talented Sintez Kazan squad took a 1-2 lead at quarter-time before OSC waited until the final period to turn things around. Led by Ferenc Salamon (pictured) and Miklos Gor-Nagy, who scored 3 each, the Hungarians used a 5-goal performance in the 4th term to establish the lead which proved decisive as OSC topped Sintez Kazan 13-12. And after Romanian champions CSM Oradea defeated ASC Duisburg 15-11 behind 5 goals from Tiberiu Negrean, the first place in the group for the hosts seems more or less confirmed. Duisburg will be the weekend's final opponent on Sunday. Meanwhile Mladost won another thriller at home in group C as they knocked off Marseille 11-10 after standout Andrija Basic scored the winner with just under 5 seconds remaining. A bitter defeat for the French who came out ready to play and were superior in the first half leading 2-5 at half-time. However in the third session Mladost got back into it and eventually walked away with their first win after yesterday's 7-all draw with Jadran. Primorje meanwhile marched on in another clear win facing Jadran Herceg Novi on Saturday. The favourites quickly took a 3-0 lead and never looked back to win 11-4. Sandro Sukno netted 4 to take top scoring honours. An all important Sunday will see the battle for 2nd place being determined as Mladost takes on domestic rivals Primorje while Jadran Herceg Novi meets Marseille. A resurrection was on display in Hannover, Germany where Red Star, after falling to hosts Waspo 12-11 on Friday, simply dominated Russian champs Spartak Volgograd just a day later. With top scorer Strahinja Rasovic again going off, this time for 5 goals, the young Serbian side rolled away from the second quarter onwards and posted a convincing 4-14 win for their first points of the weekend. Pro Recco made no mistake facing hosts Waspo 98 Hannover. The German home side was held scoreless in the opening quarter as the Igor Milanovic coached side walked even further away in a one-sided second half to eventually win 5-14 with young gun Francesco di Fulvio ending up top scorer with 4. As expected the Italians with this win pretty much secured the top spot in the group and a favourable draw for the next 3rd (play-off) round. First up however is the group's final match-up, with Red Star Belgrade, on Sunday morning. Recco eliminated then title-holders Red Star in last year's play-off round on penalties over 2 matches. In group D Szolnok recovered from their stunning defeat on Friday as they ousted Posillipo 14-4 in a rebound performance. Daniel Varga and Stefan Mitrovic (3 each) led the way for Szolnok who is in the race to avoid an early elimination by claiming 2nd place behind Radnicki and started off well beating the Italian opponents. On Sunday the Hungarians will meet Turkish outsider Yuzme Istanbul in an encounter that will likely confirm Szolnok's 2nd spot in the group.
Radnicki vs. Yuzme Istanbul
Radnicki vs. Yuzme Istanbul
The second round of Champions league qualification continued Saturday in Kragujevac and the local boys from Radnicki had an easy task against Yuzme Ihtisas with a blowout victory as a result: 18-3.
On the wings of the huge victory against Szolnok on Friday Radnicki capitalized the momentum and good form to overcome the visitors. The Turkish team was involved just in the opening minutes taking a lead at 1-0, 2-1, but after that wasn't able to score for nearly 30 minutes. On the other side the versatile home players used pressure in defence and multiple counter attacks to finish the game before half-time. Stefan Zivojinovic was in the Radnicki goal replacing usual starter Zdravko Radic and managed to stop two penalty shots to further lower Yuzme’s selfconfidence.
On offence Boris Popovic had a good game from the outside line, away from his usual centre-forward position scoring twice and assisting, too. Srdjan Vuksanovic and Milos Milicic top scored with five each.
Szolnok vs. Posillipo
Szolnok proved too strong for Posilipo in the second round of Champions League qualification with an easy 14-4 victory. The Hungarian vice-champions bounced back from Friday’s defeat against Radnicki to secure the final round as they in the last match play with outsiders Yuzme early Sunday.
Szolnok was up from the beginning, and goalie Victor Nagy was in form to leave the Naples based side without a goal for 10 minutes. With a 4-goal lead into the third quarter finish Posillipo captain Valentino Gallo was red carded for brutality when he unintentionally hit Denes Varga in the face after a struggle. With four minutes extra man Szolnok easily concluded the game with a big margin.
Centre-forward Gabor Kis was the main strength for the Hungarians in the beginning of the match before the outside line took over with Daniel Varga and Stefan Mitrovic scoring three each. Vincenzo Iodice Renzuto manage to score two for the Italians.
Reports: Srdjan Tomic.
