Györ's goalkeepers did better
Good goalkeeping is essential for any team, and the match in Moscow proved it once again. Silje Solberg and Laura Glauser both did a decent job for Györ, ending the game with a 38 and 35 per cent save rate respectively. In fact, they limited CSKA to a 51 per cent shot efficiency, and even the renowned scorer Ana Gros had a bad day, converting just one of her eight attempts.
Meanwhile at CSKA, Polina Kaplina stopped just five of 24 shots, and the experienced Anna Sedoykina, who replaced her in the second half, recorded only two saves, so it was obviously not enough for their team to succeed.
