FTC and Brest back to winning form; Odense shock Györ

REVIEW: FTC, Brest and Vipers sealed wins, NFH clinched their first point and Odense handed Györ their second clearest home defeat ever

EHF Champions League Women 2024/25 round 6 opened on Saturday afternoon with Brest Bretagne and FTC back on the winning track following their first defeats of the season in round 5, while Nykøbing Falster Håndbold staged a great comeback to clinch a 27:27 draw versus Podravka. 

A second-half salvo from Brest helped the French side secure their win against Rapid, 34:31, led by 11 goals from Anna Vyakhireva. Ana Gros also scored 11 goals, but could not prevent Krim from losing for the second time in a row, 26:28, against FTC.

In the evening matches, reigning champions Györ conceded their first loss of the season, 28:35, as they were thoroughly outplayed by Odense. Vipers added an easy-going victory, which was only their second of 2024/25, over Buducnost, 32:23.
