With one round of group stage left, PPD Zagreb is through to the playoffs of EHF Champions League.
PPD Zagreb secured a place in the playoffs one round before the end of the group stage of EHF Champions League, overcoming Pivovarna Lasko Celje 24-23 on February 27, 2016 at Arena Zagreb. It was a tough battle throughout the game, and the win was secured in the last seconds of a game, with Croatian National team goalkeeper, Ivan Stevanović saving a shot by Slovenian player Luka Žvižej from the 6-meter box.
As the Croatian National Handball team is preparing for the Olympic qualification tournament, the good news for Croatian coach is Stipe Mandalinić scoring 10 goals and not missing a single shot in the game. Mandalinić was out of National team for the EURO, due to injury, so his form will be a big help, as some other key players are struggling with injuries at the moment.
