This Tuesday, Benfica won the second victory in the group stage of the EHF European League, beating Chekhovskiye Medvedi, champion of Russia, by 38-35.
Playing at home, the eagles took the lead early on and at half-time they were winning by six goals difference (21-15). In the second half, the tenuous reaction of the outsiders even cast doubt on the winner, with Benfica showing themselves stronger in the final stretch. Petar Djordjic (11 goals) and Ole Rahmel (10) stood out in reds.
In the third round, Benfica will go to Finland to measure forces with Riihimäen Cocks.
