Sporting and Veszprém remain in control to book quarter-final berths

After winning at home last week, Sporting and Veszprém secured their quarter-final tickets away from home.

The Machineseeker EHF Champions League road-to-Cologne bracket is now complete, following the last two play-off return legs played on Thursday night. After winning by eight on home court last week, Veszprém stayed in control in Paris. Following a strong start, the Hungarian side managed to prevent their opponents’ comeback. Sporting had a tougher evening in Płock, but the Portuguese side scored important goals in the last 10 minutes to stay ahead on aggregate and secure their place in the quarter-finals for the second straight season.
