As their last goal came just after the buzzer, Chekhovskie Medvedi missed their first draw of the season – and Abanca Ademar Leon danced on a court after taking a win from a real thriller. Thanks to the 35:34 goalfest in Russia, the Spanish side passed the ‘Bears’ in the ranking – and Orlen Wisla Plock are confirmed as winners of group A before their top duel against Medvedi next Tuesday. The match winner for Leon was a 17-year-old right wing: Antonio Martinez. GROUP A
Antonio Martinez becomes Leon’s hero Besides Leandro Borges, who scored eight goals for Abanca Ademar Leon, a 17 year old talent shone in Chekhov: Right wing Antonio Martinez, who scored 10 goals from 12 attempts in 44 minutes. Funnily enough, those 10 strikes were his first goals in the competition, though Martinez had played seven matches already. TEXT: EHF / Björn Pazen |
