Odense "ran over" Buducnost in front of a few hundred spectators at the "Mtel Morača Hall" in Group B, Round 12 of the EHF Champions League - 24:33.
Although her chosen ones played a desperate game, head coach Bojana Popović believes that the final result is not realistic.
"We were not aggressive enough in defense and did not commit enough fouls against a quality team. We gave them too much space and allowed them easy goals. We tried to change some things as the game went on, but Odense has a large number of excellent players and they always had the right answer. We came close on several occasions in the second half, but at those moments we were disrupted by suspensions. The result in the end is not realistic, because the difference is too high after everything we saw during the 60 minutes. However, we lacked more energy in defense to create a sensation, as well as more saves by our goalkeepers," said Popović.
Only Jelena Radivojević shone and was the most efficient on the floor with 10 goals against the team fighting for second place in Group B.
"In the match announcement, I said that Odense has perhaps the best attack in the Champions League. We didn't have a solution for their excellent attack. At some points we were close to fully connecting, but then we got a few sending-offs. We have two more matches in the group and we will fight for a place in the round of 16," said Radivojević.
