14.02.2021, 09:00 ROUND REVIEW: CSM and Velenje won the first-leg matches, yet they will need to defend their advantage away from home |
||
The EHF European Cup Men Last 16 opened with five first-leg encounters held on Saturday and Sunday. Experienced teams CSM Bucuresti and RK Gorenje Velenje played their matches at home and earned victories, making a step closer towards the quarter-final. However, their rivals AEK Athens and RK Borac m:tel still have a chance to hit back in return-leg games next week.
Mixed fortunes for Russian sides Two teams from Russia are still in contention for the trophy, and both played their first-leg matches at home – but the results were different. While HC Neva SPb have one foot in the quarter-final following their commanding 33:21 win against Gracanica, SGAU-Saratov shared spoils with Polva Serviti, 28:28, and nothing is clear in this tie ahead of the second-leg game in Estonia.
