Different fortunes for the three Portuguese clubs in the fifth round of the European League group stage.
In the third set, Sporting went to Denmark to defeat Skjern, with a score of 32-30. Losing (12-15) in the first half, in the second half the Lions were sharper and won by two more points. It ranks fourth with six points, four behind Nixie and Croatia with five wins in the same number of matches.
As for Group D, Águas Santas won the first point in a 26-goal tie against HC Motor, who also scored for the first time. In a very balanced duel in which neither team has an advantage of more than two goals, equality adjusts well.
Finally, in Group A, Benfica, the holders of the cup, were surprised at home by Montpellier, who achieved their fifth victory in the same number of matches. Like the Póvoa do Varzim match (the match between Águas Santas), the match in Luz was also oriented with balance and in the first half there was a 12-1 draw.
In the second half, the French led by three goals, 20-17, but partially 4-0 took the Eagles ahead: 21-20. However, in the dying moments, Montpellier dug a three-goal lead, 26-23, and clinched the victory, 26-24. The Reds are fourth in the group, with four points, six points behind Montpellier.
