Surprising final at VELUX EHF Champions League Final4, but somehow, based on previous experience from Lanxess Arena events, everything was possible.
Montpellier Handball will play against HBC Nantes for the European title on Sunday, 18.00 hrs. That will be a chance for Patrice Canayer to repeat success made 15 years ago, when Montpellier won their first EHF CL trophy.
Reigning champions RK Vardar Skopje had to admit defeat after Vuko Borozan missed the last shot – 28:27 (14:11).
Montpellier were in the lead most of the match with Valentin Porte (8) and Melvyn Richardson (6) in the main roles, while on the other side, Vuko Borozan and Luka Cindric had especially good second half with six goals each.
RK Vardar had last advantage in 14th minute (7:6) and in the rest of the match desperately were trying Raul Gonzales boys to catch the rival, what they did with Stojance Stoilov goal a minute before the final buzzer.
Diego Simonet netted goal for 28:27…
