22.10.2022, 08:00 GROUP A REVIEW: CSM’s best start to a season in the EHF Champions League was finally derailed after five matches, as Vipers took a win against the Romanian powerhouse |
||
CSM’s five-game unbeaten streak this season was snapped by the reigning champions, Vipers Kristiansand, who got back to winning ways with a strong performance in the second half, which finished with a 35:20 win. GROUP A Vipers Kristiansand (NOR) vs CSM Bucuresti (ROU) 35:29 (15:15)
CSM fail first real test The first tough test for CSM Bucuresti, away against the reigning champions, Vipers Kristiansand, showed that the Romanian side needs to improve its credentials before really challenging for a place in the EHF FINAL4, a feature that they have not achieved since 2018. While the first half was excellent for the Romanian side, the second one saw little impetus in their defence which conceded the largest number of goals in a single game since January 2019. It was also the first loss for CSM this season in all competitions, after a 13-game unbeaten streak, while Vipers bounced back in style after two games without a win on the trot, with another one tying their worst ever streak in the EHF Champions League Women.
