Midtjylland snatch draw after impressive Győr comeback
Change language:
The European Handball Federation (EHF) said, handball fans around Europe have been treated to few games this season as exciting as this one, with former EHF Champions League winners Györi Audi ETO KC staging an mighty second-half comeback before a last-gasp equaliser denied them the win.
GROUP C
FC Midtjylland (DEN) vs Györi Audi ETO KC (HUN) 22:22 (12:10)
Györi Audi ETO KC, the 2013 and 2014 Women’s EHF Champions League winners, will head into this season’s main round with five points after a thrilling draw at FC Midtjylland on Sunday.
According to EHF, HC Vardar will take four points with them while FCM will have to be content with three after spilling a six-goal lead to earn a tie on the buzzer courtesy of a Stine Jörgensen thunderbolt from nine metres.
A balanced attack in which five players netted two goals each saw Midtjylland engineer a two-goal lead in the first half, while their defence stifled Györ’s usually prolific attack.
A carbon copy of the reverse fixture in Hungary, where Midtjylland enjoyed a shock 26:21 win, looked on the cards after the Danish title holders romped away to a 17:11 lead early in the second period.
