11.02.2021, 10:50 GROUP B REVIEW: Veszprém took the points from a much closer duel compared to the first leg against Celje, winning 29:25 |
||
After their clear 24:39 defeat in the first leg in Veszprém, RK Celje Pivovarna Laško were much stronger on home ground – but, as expected, could not manage a second win this week after beating Zagreb on Tuesday. On Thursday night, the Hungarian side took two points after a well-deserved 29:25 win and extended the gap ahead of third-ranked HC Motor to three points. Celje remain on six points, but, with the recent decision that all teams qualify for the Last 16 in mind, the biggest pressure has lessened. GROUP B
The older Marguc wins the duel of brothers After his younger brother Gal won the Marguc brothers duel in the first leg, with seven goals to four, Gasper struck back on Thursday night. The older brother (aged 30) was Veszprém’s top scorer in his homecoming match in Slovenia, with five goals; Gal (24) netted four times. The overall record for the season looks almost the same: Gasper has 29 goals in his tally so far, while Gal is on 24. TEXT: EHF / Björn Pazen |
