Nykøbing performed strongly in defence from the first whistle and took an early lead in the game (6:2). After some initial problems, Ramnicu Valcea finally found a solution in the attack, as Iryna Glibko and Jovana Kovacevic led the way to a level score midway through the first half (8:8). The pace remained the same until the last moments of the first half, as Nykøbing took advantage of their opponents' mistakes.

The home side thoroughly dominated the second half, leaving Valcea helpless. Cecilie Greve ended the match with eight saves at a 40 per cent efficiency, which was 60 per cent at its highest point. Again, only Glibko and Kovacevic were able to break the pattern after seven minutes without a goal, the duo scoring 19 out of 29 Valcea's goals. Nykøbing reached a double-figure lead in the 40th minute with a goal from their top scorer Elma Halilcevic, who scored a total of nine goals.

The draw for the semi-final pairings of the EHF Finals Women will be drawn on Tuesday 28 March at 4pm in Graz, Austria.

They play very effectively, and we didn't find our usual level. It is as it is, and it is my responsibility as coach.
