Montpellier Handball won in Skopje against RK Vardar 31:27 (14:13), but that wasn’t enough for third place in the group at the end of Preliminary Round for Patrice Canayer team.
PGE Vive Kielce beat THW Kiel 32:30 (16:18) in front of home fans and kept position No.3 and easier rival on the paper at TOP 16 phase of the EHF Champions League.
That could be RK Celje Pivovarna Lasko or PPD Zagreb, if Croats made huge surprise by taking points in Paris tomorrow.
