And the last train for the round of 27 of the Champions League blew past the Buducnost Bemax handball players - Debrecen defeated the team of Bojana Popović 21:XNUMX in the "Bemax Arena" and practically put an end to a season that everyone in the club will try to forget as soon as possible.
There are still four rounds to go, and 6th place is unattainable. In the duels with Djerba and Odense at home, and Savehof and Bitighajm away, Popović can only try to play with the local players and prepare them for the double match with Serbia in the qualifiers for the EHF Euro and the much more important one - the tournament for the Olympic Games, which From April 11 to 14, he plays in Ulm.
And whether another negative record will fall is less important now. All boundaries were broken this fall and winter anyway - first in Odense, the heaviest defeat in the club's history was tied (39:24), then the boundary was moved in Djerba (37:19) and in Bucharest (44:26), where ĆSM gave four more goals than Mar Valencia back in 1998 (40:26).
Armel Atingre started the match perfectly, driving the visitors to "madness", and after her seventh save, Zoltan Silađi had to react. He took a time-out after 10 minutes and 25 seconds of the game, and the reaction of his players was right - in 136 seconds they scored four goals (two from the counterattack) and turned the score 4:3.
Then it was clear that the "blues" would hardly be able to fulfill the second goal - to triumph with at least a six-goal difference, so they had to fight for the main one, i.e. to register their second victory in the Champions League this season and maintain at least a theoretical chance of reaching the round of 16.
Until halftime, the teams constantly took turns in the lead, but at the start of the second half, the Hungarians increased the tempo and with goals from Petra Vamoš, Vivijen Groš and the seventh from Greta Kačor, they reached plus three (15:12) in the 37th minute. It didn't help that Atingre, with a score of 12:12, saved the shots of Kačor and Groš in a few seconds, because there was no solution in the attack.
Of the defenders, only Kalidijata Nijakata tried and did something, but it was too little even for a duel with a team against which Budućnost expected four points before the start of the season. She did not take any, so in the remaining four games she will fight only to avoid the last place in Group A.
He has three points, Savehof is at zero, but the Swedish champion welcomes Buducnost and Debrecen until the end, so he will surely try to hand over the "lantern" to the "blues"...
