No European title for Holstebro this seasonLast season, TTH Holstebro won the latest edition of the Cup Winners’ Cup after claiming the Women’s EHF Cup in 2013 and 2015. This season, there will be European triumph for the Danish club though. VfL Oldenburg made sure of that. Having won the first leg in Holstebro 27:25, the Bundesliga team won as big as 31:21 at home on Sunday.
Holstebro were able to reduce a 15:9 deficit to 15:14 around the break, but for the rest of the match, Oldenburg were dominating, with Angie Geschke as their great goal scorer. The 31-year-old left back netted a total of 10 goals.
On home ground in Krasnodar, Kuban started with a six-goal lead after their 29:23 win away against Hypo Niederösterreich last weekend. This time, the Austrian team were able to follow Kuban to tie it at 14 at half-time, even after being two goals up at one point. However, in the second half, the home team established a six-goal lead again and won 32:26. During the return match in the Salle Sportive de la Trocadiere, Nantes could afford to take things a bit easier and the Dutch champions played a slightly bigger part this time. In front of 3500 spectators, they were not able to threaten the French win though; although the Nantes win was somewhat smaller this time, as the return match ended 31:28 for the hosts, who were only leading narrowly (16:15) at half-time.
