A week ago, in Bucharest, the Romanian champion achieved an absolutely fabulous success, after a dramatic match and a sensational comeback. In the round, the hosts prevailed 37-34 and took a serious option for qualification to the next stage of the competition.
With a very good course up to this point, the people from Bucharest had a difficult start to the match, but they unleashed themselves in the second half to secure their success.
With a 3-goal lead after the first leg, Dinamo went to Denmark with a very good morale, but knowing that it has an extremely difficult mission in the return match.
However, the hosts from Silkeborg were unrecognizable, and Dinamo marched in the first 30 minutes of the match, during which they secured their qualification for the next phase of the competition.

Even though the Danes managed several goals, and in the 45th minute they were three lengths behind Dinamo, after Lauge’s successful goal, score 16-19, Dinamo had no emotions in the last minutes of the double leg, being also at the shelter of the three round robin goals.
