Győr Audi ETO KC won 24-23 in the home of French Brest Bretagne in the first round of the group stage of the women’s handball Champions League. The home team only led once, at 2-1, in the match.
The Győrs surprisingly lost 33-30 in Mosonmagyaróvár on Wednesday, and they were able to travel to Brest in the north-western part of France in 24 hours amid unexpected difficulties and adversities. From their frame Veronica Kristiansen, Fodor Czenge and Silje Solberg it was missing.
Despite the bad omens, the visitors got off to an excellent start, already leading 6-2 in the seventh minute, and although Brest equalized (8-8) soon after, the five-time BL winners from Győr organized their lines without time-outs, defended effectively again and at the third of the match they were again better by four hits.
At the break, ETO led 16-14, which could not create a reassuring advantage in the second period either. At that time, the defense of both teams worked great, so the game was not spectacular, it was more of a struggle, and fewer goals were scored than usual. In the last minute, Brest could have equalized, Győr could have secured the victory, but neither team found the back of the net, so the visitors kept their one-goal lead, MTI reported.
Ana Gros hat, Kari Bratset five, Estelle Nze Minko with four hits, Sandra Toft contributed to the success with ten saves. At the hosts Valeria Mashlov hat, Alicia Toublanc scored four goals Julie Foggea He finished with 12 saves.
