Day review 2: Five teams already secure main round berth
After the conclusion of round 4 of the EHF European League Men 2024/25 group matches on Tuesday night, five teams have clinched their berth for the main round. After defending champions SG Flensburg-Handewitt (group G) became the first to qualify from today’s early matches, fellow German sides THW Kiel (group E) and MT Melsungen (F) followed them, as well as GOG (A) and Vojvodina (E). Montpellier HB in A and Sport Lisboa e Benfica in C are on the maximum eight points, but have not formally qualified yet, as a three-way tie in those groups is mathematically still possible.
The defensive work after these three months is showing. Today we have annulled the offensive facet of the Romanian team and I am proud of that. The work has been impressive.
I am definitely satisfied. We got into the game a bit slowly and made a few simple mistakes. But thanks to Andi's great performance in the first half, we were able to get into our counter-attacking style of play. We have now finished October without defeat and are looking forward to November. Thanks to the fans for the great support today, it was fantastic!
