At halftime, the Greeks trailed 4:6, but Crvena Zvezda scored three straight goals in the third period to build a safe 9:4 advantage and Apollon couldn’t come back anymore.

Sabac convincingly defeated Galatasaray. The Turks kept up with the hosts for a while. The difference between the teams was just a goal two minutes before the middle break (Sabac led 5:4). The home side, led by Djordje Vucinic (6 goals) dominated in the second half and celebrated a nice 14:6 win.

Dynamo Moscow made a big step towards the second qualification round, by defeating Oradea in a very close encounter. Early in the third period, the sides were tied (4:4). Dynamo entered the last quarter with a 3-goal advantage (8:5). The Romanians managed to equalise two minutes before the end when Ramiro Georgescu converted a man-up for 8:8.
