ABC Braga lost, this week-end, pre round access to the League Handball Champions. The team managed to eliminate the Portuguese champions called RK Metalurg Skopje and comes from Macedonia. The Metalurg has no great tradition in European competition and the Champions League has no record of attendance, however, this area of \u200b\u200bEurope (Balkans) is a "hotbed" of good players and teams nationals are quite strong when there is some investment. ABC went to Skopje to play on the 2nd of September to first-hand tie. A pavilion with about a thousand people, crowded, exerted enormous pressure on the players and the team Braga arbitration but the problems within the team of Eastern Europe allowed the ABC could produce a result which allowed them to continue to fight for the goal. At half-time ABC won by 13-15 but some devolution on the defensive end of the game and an arbitration "homemade" dictated the end result of 30-28. ABC lost but only by two goals sunk to second-hand.
In
Flávio Sá Leite, September 9, was another matter. The members of the ABC had free entry and members of other clubs Braga had discount tickets, this allowed the pavilion fills in supporting the "yellow". Adding to this apparent advantage, the coach of the Macedonian first-hand to guide the selection left Serbia with a player taken control technician. Everything seemed on track for Braga but missed playing 60 minutes and recover a handicap of two goals. The game started badly for not even the academics who have earned 20 minutes to 9-7, however, somewhat inexplicably, the Braga accumulated Carlos Ferreira left defensive mistakes to keep the race on ABC. By halftime they had lost 13-14 and the second part was a continuation of the debacle. From 43 to 47 minutes, the Macedonians have achieved a partial or 0-6 and the disqualification of one side and a straight red to the pivot rocked the defensive consistency of Metalurg 6:0. The more than 20 defenses of Carlos Ferreira and constant changes of schedule by the coach Jorge Rito, since schemes mixed up man-to-man, were not enough to put ABC on Champions.
The final result of 27-32 rule over the Portuguese participation in the Champions League where have tradition. Instead, the RK Metalurg Skopje will for the first time, entered this competition play in Group D along with RK Zagreb of Croatia, Russia and Chehovskie Medvedi SG Flensburg-Handewitt Germany.
