The Industria Kielce handball players did not give their opponents any chance. The yellow, white and blue team defeated Eurofarm Pelister Bitola 35:25 in the last Champions League match of the year in Hala Legionów.
Handball players from Bitola have yet to score a point in this year’s Champions League. The Macedonians are definitely the weakest team in Group A, with the seventh team ahead of them by eight points in the table. However, in the first match against the yellow, white and blue team, they showed that they can fight until the end and that they can be dangerous, especially at home. Although Kelce’s side had the advantage in that encounter in the first half, the hosts came back well and tried to make their opponents bloody.
They did not succeed in their own stadium and definitely wanted to try themselves in Kielce. Handball players from Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship quickly stopped these attempts. For Talant Duchibayev’s players, Thursday’s match with Pelister Bitola was the last of the year in front of their home fans. The hosts had no intention of reaching a close finish, as they tried to impose their own playing conditions from the start of the match.
The Polish champions quickly built the advantage, and Kielce’s defense looked good from the opening minutes. The yellow, white and blue team played cautiously, allowing them to launch several counterattacks. Collaboration with sales staff also worked very well.

On the other hand, the Macedonians had big problems in attack – Andreas Wolff made many saves, throwing the visitors out of their rhythm. Bitola players had to work hard in order to score every goal. On the other hand, Kelsey’s team did its job and gradually increased its lead, which reached six goals at the end of the first half.
In the second part of the match, the game did not change much – the Polish champions were still setting the pace of the game. It didn’t take long for the Polish champions’ advantage to reach double digits – after Artsyom Karalek’s 42nd-minute goal, the home side had an 11-point advantage.
Talent Dogchebaggio rotated the lineup, and Kelce’s team controlled the result without any major problems. In the end, they won by ten goals.
