GROUP A Team Esbjerg (DEN) vs Rostov-Don (RUS) 25:18 (13:10)
Jensen works wonders with Esbjerg With an undermanned roster, still missing the MVP of the IHF Women’s World Championship 2019, Estavana Polman, due to injury, Esbjerg are currently riding their best-ever start of the season in the DELO EHF Champions League, with four wins, a draw and a loss in their first six games. The Danish side boast a tight defence, a smart attack, with plenty of options, and run like a well-oiled machine, a testament to Jesper Jensen’s great work over the last four years. Whether Esbjerg can be named as a contender is difficult to grasp, yet with last season’s EHF FINAL4 MVP, Henny Reistad, defensive lynchpin Marit Malm Frafjord and a great pair of goalkeepers in Rikke Poulsen and Dinah Eckerle – the latter saved 12 shots in this match – Esbjerg are definitely a difficult team to face this season.
