There was no desire, no motivation, and no audience to support the Buducnost handball team in the "MTEL Morača Hall", even though the match of the 12th round of the EHF Champions League also had a humanitarian significance in helping with the treatment of the student of the "Dragiša Ivanović" Elementary School, Mie Popović.
None of this happened, so Odenze celebrated an easy victory in Podgorica - 33:24 (18:13).
It was clear during the timeout and the score at 8:11 that Buducnost had nothing to hope for.
"We don't have a single goalie save, and you haven't committed a single foul," criticized the head of the "blues" Bojana Popović.
Little has changed, the first defense took almost 20 minutes, and only the fantastically motivated and enthusiastic Jelena Radivojević gave some hope that with the "waking up" of her teammates, defeat could be avoided.
She scored five of her team's first nine goals. And at the end of the half, Buducnost gave hope that they could play against the Danes with a 3:0 series.
However, 200 seconds without a goal in the following period diminished it, Budućnost did come within four points and it seemed that the difference in class was not that big, but then two reckless sending-offs by Ivona Pavićević and Nađa Kadović, and two goals from the wing by Odenze, settled the question of the winner.
The future seemed to have given up until the last round, when Vipers' withdrawal gave them a chance to advance to the next round by winning at home against Rapid.
However, Buducnost will most likely need a six-goal triumph in the last round to advance to the round of 32, as they were defeated 27:XNUMX in Bucharest.
