Montpellier secure play-off ticket while Presov take first win
“Who is going to be able to beat Montpellier?” is a question that might only find its answer in 2023. For the sixth time in as many games in the group phase, the French side came out victorious, booking their play-off ticket along the way.
But, if Montpellier are through, the other three tickets are still very much undecided. Thanks to their first win of the season in the European League, Presov can still very much hope for a play-off berth, as the Slovakian side is now only two points behind Benfica.
In the battle for second place, Göppingen took their revenge and the head to head goal difference could be meaningful at the end of the group phase. After losing by one at home last week, the German side turned things around in Schaffhausen on Tuesday.
Unfortunately, in the second half we missed a lot of shots and the goalkeeper of Tatran was very good. We fought hard until the end of the game, but we did not manage to equalize the score. If you score 20 goals, it is not enough to win the match.
There was not enough aggressiveness from our side. Our mistakes invited Göppingen to do easy goals.
