The handball players from Lovćen have started their European adventure convincingly. Filip Popović’s team convincingly defeated Berhem yesterday in the first match of the second round of the EHF European Cup, 40:30.
According to the clubs’ agreement, both matches will be played in Luxembourg, so the second leg is scheduled for today at 18 p.m.
In the middle of the first half, Lovćen started to take the lead, and at the break they led 20:16, even though they had previously had an eight-goal advantage. In the second half of the match, Bogdan Petričević and his teammates probably broke the deadlock. They had a double-digit lead for the first time in the 53rd minute and did not let it go again until the end of the match.

Aleksa Knežević and Nikola Andrić scored three times each, while Aleksa Perišić, Miodrag Stanojević and Vladimir Stanković scored twice each for Berhem. Milan Popović scored one goal.
