First win for Alingsas this season

GROUP C REVIEW: With a strong performance in the second half, Alingsas won their first points. The Turkish side fought hard but couldn’t keep up with their opponents.

It was a good start for both teams, eager to strike their first win in the EHF European League. Alingsas was the one to take the lead at the beginning of the match, but Besiktas refused to give up and were giving their best on the court. With a shortened squad list for this match, the home team was one or two goals behind. It was the second half that marked defeat for Besiktas as Alingsas had a seven-goal lead only ten minutes in. They later snatched a 32:24 victory.
