Technical director of our handball team, Müfit Arın commented about İzmir Metrolitan Municipality match as follows:

“Considering such a poor performance, this draw is a good result for us. Disqualification at the beginning of the match firstly seemed as an advantage for us but it became a disadvantage. We couldn’t take the advantage of this situation.
We missed a lot of chances on one-on-ones while our opponent did not have difficulty in scoring at counter attacks. I'm sure that we will not make the same mistakes in İzmir in the second leg and win the cup.”
