04.02.2021, 10:30 GROUP A REVIEW: After struggling in the first 15 minutes, Porto turned things around and finished strong to beat Vardar |
||
Porto were, before this game, one of the two teams to have lost points against Vardar, as the first leg in North Macedonia ended in a 25:25 draw. But, having played three more games than their opponents, the Portuguese club were better ranked than Vardar prior to this game. In the group phase last season, Porto took the points at home, 30:22 GROUP A
Porto come out of the dressing room roaring During the first half of the game, you could clearly see that Magnus Andersson, Porto’s coach, was not too happy about his players’ performance. And he must have told them as much in the dressing room, given how they played immediately after the break. More aggressive defensively, running crazy on fast breaks, the hosts made the most of Vardar’s technical errors to take a five-goal lead at 19:14, that would ultimately secure them the two points.
