  • neither team could pull clear by more than two goals in the first half, as the sides were level at the break
  • Viborg led 21:18 midway through the second half, but the Hungarian side, who never led after the break, hit back after a 3:0 run and fought until the end
  • Csenge Kuczora and Greta Kacsor scored seven and six goals respectively, combining for more than a half of Vaci's goals
  • 10 players netted for Viborg, with Kristina Jorgensen and Thilde Frandsen netting five times each

Kristensen impresses for Viborg

While Jorgensen became a heroine of the match after scoring a late winner, Viborg would hardly have won without some solid goalkeeping. Anna Kristensen also did a good job in the visitors' goal, as she stopped 11 balls for a 32 per cent save efficiency. Notably, she made her last save three seconds from full time, denying Vivien Grosch a last-gasp equaliser.
