While the second leg of Põlva Serviti s EHF European Cup 1/16 finals matchup against Czech team Dukla Prague ended with a 17:22 loss for the Estonian team, their first leg victory was enough to grant them passage to the top-16 draw. HC Tallinn is out of the tournament after a 24:27 loss to Swedish side Ystads IF.
Serviti went into Sunday s match against holding 19-goal lead from Saturday s first leg match and while the Czech side was able to take a five-goal victory, it was not enough over the two-match aggregate and Põlva passed through to the 1/8 finals. Two different days, especially on the attack. The defense held up and Eston Varusk was also good but we were not succesful at anything on offense. Alfred Timmo was injured yesterday (Saturday - ed.) and so we were missing an important gear. Luckily, our lead was enough and we achieved the most important - passage to the top 16, Serviti s head coach Kalmer Musting said post-match.
