GROUP C
In a tight group, every point is important and protecting your home court against a tough opponent especially so. The Hungarian side fought hard for 60 minutes but were left empty handed. Odense coach Karen Brødsgaard was pleased with her team's composure in the match. She said: "The game went back and forth, but we manage to stay cool and I think the team as a whole played very well. Everyone fought for this victory, and it was very important for us to have a good start in the group phase.” Despite the result, Erd coach Edina Szabó was impressed with her players' effort. She said: "Honestly, any other outcome in the last second would have been better for the team, but there is nothing else we can do now. In spite of this loss our players left everything out on the field, battling through adversity, and it was great to see that." TEXT: Adrian Costeiu / jw |
