GROUP B

Storhamar Handball Elite (NOR) - Györi Audi ETO KC (HUN) 21:35 (14:15)

• at the start of the game, it seemed Györ was determined to get another win after a 3-0 run, having in the match a five-goal difference (7:12)
• Eli Marie Raasok was the hero of the home team, having a few consecutive saves and allowing her team to catch up (12:13)

• the good second-half opening showed that Györ woke up and with six consecutive goals had their biggest lead in the game, by seven goals; the 10-goal mark was hit in the 52nd minute
• debutant Storhamar were trying to get back in the game, but with less experience and more quality opponents, they had to accept their third defeat in the season
• the best player of the match was arguably Silje Margaretha Solberg, she stopped Storhamar's 18 attacks for a 52 per cent efficiency

Teamwork

Györ seemed to have a slower start to the season, despite being defeated only by Metz in round 3 of the EHF Champions League Women. The same was in Storhamar as the home team was keeping up with the set pace and trailed by one at half-time. However, teamwork was shown in the second half as every player went in full effort to score as many goals as possible. Individually they might be one of the best players in the competition, but in Norway, they proved what the word team means. All 12 players from Györ scored at least once in the game and both goalkeepers had their amount of saves in a 35:21 win.
