FTC mount comeback to win against CSM; Esbjerg secure victory at home
The gap between the top two sides in group A, Metz and FTC-Rail Cargo Hungaria and the following teams grew even bigger, becoming almost unassailable, after FTC secured their seventh win in eight matches, 31:28, against CSM Bucuresti.
Team Esbjerg erased an inefficient first half against Buducnost to clinch a clear 26:19 win, their fifth in a row, which left the Montenegrin side without a victory after eight rounds.
It is a good feeling to win an important match like this. We played at a high level and we had the right players in the right situations during the game.
I’m sad that we lost this game against FTC, they were stronger today. I think we did a great job, we fought until the end, but it wasn’t enough.
Maybe the match was a bit messy, but Buducnost were very well prepared. They created some doubt in our team, and when we started to miss our chances, it even created some anxiety. We managed to break that, but I still lift off my hat for them.
We can always learn. I am still proud of the team and the approach to the game. We managed to hold Team Esbjerg to 26 goals when they often score 35.
