SEMI-FINAL REVIEW: The debutants of the EHF FINAL4 stop Metz Handball in overtime to secure their maiden final

The EHF FINAL4 debutants just turned Budapest upside down. Odense Håndbold delivered a stunning performance to knock out Metz Handball by winning 31:29 after overtime and booking an historic place in their first EHF Champions League final. The Danish side proved they were more than ready for the big stage, coming back from a seven-goal deficit to level the game, and ultimately go past Metz in overtime. As the final buzzer of the 2 x 5 minutes echoed around the MVM Dome, Odense had done the unthinkable — ending Metz’s perfect season, and becoming the first Danish team since Viborg in 2010 to reach the final.
