Macedonian and European champions Vardar has advanced to the EHC Champions League Final Four tournament after squeezing past Germany's Kiel on away goals.
Vardar lost 28:27 in Skopje on Sunday but advanced to the Final Four for the second year running after beating Kiel in the first leg 29:28.
In a tight match in front of a packed Jane Sandanski hall, no team led by more than three goals. The guests managed to take the lead in the dying seconds, but Vardar held on.
Vuko Borozan was Vardar's leading scorer with six goals, followed by Luka Cindric with five.
French trio PSG, Nantes and Montpellier join Vardar at the Final Four tournament in Cologne on May 26-27.
