 Our futsal team's path to Slovenia was not easy. In the group with current European champion – Spain, then Slovenia and Moldova, Perić and teammates achieved two wins – they were convincing against Poland (4:0), then also against Moldova (7:3). They managed to win the Czechs in the first leg play-off match in Chomutov (4:3), and then to confirm their quality in the second leg match.
