03.04.2021, 01:35 QUARTER-FINAL REVIEW: After a slow start, CS Minaur Baia Mare bounced back against HC Dunarea Braila to seal a EHF Finals Women berth |
||
A convincing 31:24 in the first leg handed enough breathing space for Baia Mare in the second game against Romanian counterparts HC Dunarea Braila in the Romanian derby of the quarter-finals of the EHF European League Women. But Baia Mare proved they are a tough nut to crack at home, after a flawless second half that saw them seal a convincing 27:25 win. QUARTER-FINAL, LEG 2
Are Baia Mare the favourites for the trophy? Since Minaur lost their only European final, the Women’s EHF Challenge Cup against BV Borussia 09 Dortmund in the 2002/03 season, the Romanian side has not been in the running for European silverware. Yet in one of their best-ever seasons in European handball, with a strong back line and already proven players in the other positions, Baia Mare are now dreaming of more. Progressing to the EHF Finals Women is a big achievement for the Romanian side, who lost only one game before securing their berth. TEXT: EHF / Adrian Costeiu |
