The Spanish team were doing their best to keep up with Magdeburg and were very good at it. Magdeburg could not break away and brought a nail-biting finish for all handball fans. La Rioja took over the lead in the 55th minute and had a chance for a win, but after Jannick Green’s last-second save, the Spanish team celebrated a draw. Magdeburg’s perfect start of the season with 16 wins in total and two in this competition was shattered. Group C BM Logroño La Rioja (ESP) vs SC Magdeburg (GER) 29:29 (13:16)
Team spirit making the impossible possible La Rioja had good support from the stands and didn’t stop for a minute against Magdeburg. The whole team strongly believed they could stop their opponents and didn’t lose hope even when they were trailing by three goals. Almost every player scored tonight; only three of them couldn’t net and in the crucial moments they had the support of Aliaksandr Markelau between the posts and the cold precision of Augustin Casado Marcelo. Even though they only took a point, they celebrated like champions. TEXT: EHF / Danijela Vekić |
