In the small EHF Champions League derby of North, the Danish Aalborg showed the real difference between their league and Norwegian one. The visitors beat Elverum 34:24 (18:12) to open the season in the best possible way with points really necessary in race for TOP 6 of the group, where candidates will be RK PPD Zagreb and RK Celje Pivovarna Lasko.
Based on this experience, every single point will be a big thing for Norwegians in this season.
