CSM Bucharest, without mercy! “Tigroaicele” eliminated Gloria Bistrita from the Champions League

CSM Bucharest clearly defeated Gloria Bistrița, with 32-23 (17-10), in the Multipurpose Hall in the Capital, in the last stage of Group A of the Champions League for women’s handball. If the “tiger” had provided the presence in the play-off and the 3rd place in the group, the Transylvanians could hope for a qualification only with a victory that could have climbed the 6th place in the group.

But CSM Bucharest, with Crina Pintea and Cristina Neagu in great form, led from one end to the other, obtaining a clear victory, nine in the Champions League. “Tigroaicele” go to the play-off from the 3rd place in the group where they will meet either Rapid, or Buducnost. The two bands will meet on Sunday, in Montenegro, and the Romanians have two options to move on, from 6th place: victory or equal. With the mention that Giuleșteencea have 10 consecutive defeats in the Champions League group.
