Györi AUDI ETO (HUN) vs. Buducnost (MNE) 23:23 (9:13)

Györ were the only team who did not lose a single point in the group phase back in the autumn.

When Group 2 of the main round started, though, the reigning Champions League winners lost their first point of the season through the 23:23 draw at home against Buducnost.

The Buducnost players celebrated the draw like a win after the final whistle, but actually the Montenegrins were closer to the win during most of the game than the Hungarian favourites.

After Györ had been up by two goals early the match, Buducnost took over the initiative, partly due to tactical cleverness and fighting spirit, but also because of Clara Woltering.

The German international in the Buducnost goal definitely had the upper hand compared to her colleague Katrine Lunde Haraldsen in the other goal circle.
Haraldsen did not have a bad day, but Woltering simply got the better of the Norwegian international and her teammates.
