Szeged surging up group A
In the reverse fixture on Sunday, both sides treated fans to an enthralling back-and-forth clash, which either could have won.
After a bright start for Szeged, Vardar took hold of the game and held a three-goal lead early in the second half. Inspired performances by the likes Mirko Alilovic and Bence Banhidi turned the tide for Szeged, giving them a 28:26 victory and sending them joint-fourth in group A, alongside PSG and Porto.
That match sets us up nicely for Thursday’s Match of the Week. Will we see Szeged continue their rise up the standings or can Vardar finally get their hands on a second victory.
