Barceloneta responded with two goals by the end of the first period and added one early in the second to go up 6:2. Still, Jadran didn’t surrender.

But, despite the absence of a few key players, Ferencvaros had no significant problems in securing the win and kept the top spot

Still, Ferencvaros responded with three straight goals and earned a five-goal advantage in the middle of the final period (14:9) to kill all suspense.

Hannover started better, and dictated the pace in the opening minutes, but not for long. They ran out of gas already in the first quarter. Obviously, yesterday’s win over Dinamo, in the crucial match in the battle for the 4th position, exhausted them. On the other side, Brescia, the big favorite in this match, wanted to finish the group stage with a victory and to prove its quality after two losses. On Day 7, they lost to Barceloneta (9:10). Yesterday, Brescia disappointed its fans with a defeat to Jadran (6:7).
