QUARTER-FINALS, SECOND LEG

Györi Audi ETO KC won 66:55 on aggregate

• Györ made the best out of the great atmosphere at the start of the game, having a blistering start for a 3:0 lead in under two minutes
• it took ten minutes for Odense to become, more or less, an equal opponent, but their lack of accuracy and technical fouls reared their head again - only Bo van Wetering could break the hosts' defence with six goals in the first half; others had two at most
• 71 per cent of Györ's goals at half-time came from Ana Gros, Estelle Nze Minko and Nadine Schatlz, while Odense converted only 56% of their shots
• the home side had a 4-0 opening of the second half with Victoria Lukács scoring for a first double-digit lead - which turned out to be decisive for the end result
• Ana Gros with ten and Estelle Nze Minko with seven goals were the home side's top scorers; van Wetering stayed at six, while Maren Aardahl and Larissa Nüsser added another four for Odense

Györ unbeatable at home

Györ are always the most dangerous at home and they proved that this season again. The Hungarian side has only one defeat on their court this season, to Metz in round 3 of the group phase back in September 2022. Martim Ambros's team, boosted by the loud chants from the stands and sea of green colour, is an absolute joy to watch as they progressed with each match this season, overcoming all the obstacles and proving their quality. 12 out of 14 players scored at least once for a celebration and a chance to write history in Budapest. The five-time CL champions proved that quality and experience already in the first leg of the quarter-finals when they overcame a five-goal deficit in Denmark.
