The atmosphere in the Veszprém Arena was close to exploding and the heat was on in the first leg of the Machineseeker EHF Champions League quarter-final against Barlinek Indutria Kielce. For the re-match of the 2016 Champions League final, a huge fan group travelled from Poland to Hungary – and both fan bases created an “almost EHF FINAL4” mood.  In the end both sides could celebrate a point: Thanks to a hammer shot from Rasmus Lauge, Veszprém pulled out a 29:29 draw – the re-match in Kielce will start at zero again. Best scorers were Mohamed Elderaa (Veszprém), who was awarded Player of the Match, and Alex Dujshebaev (Kielce), each with six goals.
