Vardar lost at home to Wisła in Jane Sandanski Hall on October 9, 2026, but Miłosz Wałach’s intervention was named the second-best save of the round.
HC Vardar lost at home to Wisła last night in Jane Sandanski Hall, but the evening still produced a highlight for Vardar’s goalkeeper Miłosz Wałach. The match, played as part of the EHF Champions League round three programme on October 9, 2026, saw the visiting side generally stronger and both keepers heavily tested.
Despite the defeat, Wałach earned recognition for one of the competition’s standout saves. The EHF Champions League's compiled TOP 5 for round 3 placed his intervention second in the countdown of the round’s best goalkeeper reactions.
Round 3 — TOP 5 saves
- Nebojša Simić | MT Melsungen
- Miłosz Wałach | HC Vardar
- Christoffer Bonde | HBC Nantes
- Magnus Petersen | SAH – Aarhus
- Luka Krivokapić | RK Partizan AdmiralBet
The only save ranked ahead of Wałach’s was by Nebojša Simić of MT Melsungen. The list, distributed by the Champions League channels on October 9, highlighted a busy night for goalkeepers across Europe as teams contest the early phase of group play.
Vardar now turn their focus to the next fixture as they look to recover from the home loss and build better defensive displays that will reduce pressure on the goalkeeper in future rounds.
