In their second encounter in Group A in the Champions League Men this season 1. FC Saarbrücken TT e.V. secured a victory over Tesla Batteries Havirov. The reigning champions from Germany succeeded in straight matches in Czechia tonight. Previously in the same group PONTOISE-CERGY TT also defeated Tesla Batteries Havirov.

“We are satisfied with the 3-0 win and our performance. Personally I expected a tough match against Tomáš POLANSKÝ because we are good friends. However I played really well so I won clearly. In the second match fans saw why Yuto MURAMATSU is a world-class defender; he also won easily. And in the third singles Jan VALENTA played well and the spectators certainly had fun ” said Darko JORGIC.

The next duel for 1. FC Saarbrücken TT e.V. is in December against a French club.

“This was an important match for us because we are now facing the French club Pontoise Cergy who have a very good team. They are unpredictable will play at full strength and we must not underestimate anything. That’s why both wins over Havířov were important for us ” stated JORGIC.
