27.03.2021, 12:00 QUARTER-FINAL REVIEW: The semi-final line-up of the EHF European Cup Men is complete following five quarter-final matches played this week |

Greek side AEK Athens HC beat Russian side Neva SPb twice in a double-header played over 24 hours in Greece, while three more teams who had all claimed five-goal victories last week, needed to defend their advantage at home. Swedes Ystads IF and Slovenes RK Gorenje Velenje won again, this time by four goals each to emphatically push through, but it was dramatic in Cyprus as Sabbianco Anorthosis Famagusta narrowly-escaped elimination, squeezing through by the tiniest of margins against Romanian side CS Minaur Baia Mare.
AEK sweep aside Neva After eliminating Romania’s CSM Bucuresti in the Last 16, AEK played a double-header against the Russian side HC Neva SPb at home and also succeeded. In the first game on Thursday, technically away from home, 14 saves by Thomas Bauer powered the Greek team to a 30:21 victory, and AEK went on to also win on Friday, 29:27.
