17 goals scored by KIF Kolding Kobenhavn in the match in Zagreb is just an extension of poor Danish performance in away matches against Balkan teams. The same number of goals Aron Kristjanson boys have scored last season in TOP 16 phase against RK Metalurg in Skopje, when they received a goal more -23 instead of 22.
(furthermore) 1 goal only scored one of the most experienced KIF Kolding Kobenhavn player Bo Spelerberg against PPD Zagreb. He repeated his “record” from Skopje last year, while Kasper Hvidt had one save more (5 instead of 4) in “Zagreb Arena”.
14.500 fans watched match between PPD Zagreb and KIF Kolding Kobenhavn in almost “sold out” Arena – capacity 15.200 seats. “Sold out” is not the right definition as Croatian champions giving tickets for their matches for free.
9 goals advantage had the Polish Orlen Wisla Plock against RK Vardar (29:20) only six minutes before the end, but that wasn’t enough to break the rival in the first match. At the end, 33:27 for interesting second leg in Skopje.
3370 fans in SAP Arena in Mannheim on the match between Rhein Neckar Lowen and PICK Szeged is the best indicator that “European handball premium product” has difficulties to attract the German handball fans. The “hall of ghosts” was a great motivation for away team to blown away the favorites. Szeged won 34:30…
15 of 16 players of FC Barcelona scored the goals in historical away victory over Danish Aalborg 31:11. Only goalie Danijel Šarić didn’t score, while the second goalkeeper Perez Vargas netted once.
64 goals in Mannheim is the only match of TOP 16 phase on which fans saw more than 60 goals! The weakest shooting performance have been seen in Zagreb – 39 ahead of Aalborg – 42.
