Six teams keep a perfect record halfway through the group stage in European League. Porto and SkanderborgArhus join the German quartet with six points so far during the international season.
As usual Tuesday evening had a grand program of handball. Though the Danish side in group B SkanderborgArhus had the stage to themselves with an early start and also recorded the biggest win with 45–27 away over Minaur Baia Mare.
Kristjan Örn Kristjansson reached the ten-goal mark in a game with little excitement except for the continuous push in the attacks from the guests.
Porto is the best scoring team so far, but Elverum came close to threatening the favourite. Except for a period in the end of the first half, Porto kept the lead and the home team couldn’t reduce the deficit beyond two goals in the deciding stage. Sebastian Abrahamsson made a claim for the match winner role with 44 percent saves.
MT Melsungen, SG Flensburg-Handewitt and THW Kiel all extended their victory streaks in steady shape, TSV Hannover-Burgdorf had most trouble of the German teams, but picked up two undisputable points as IK Savehof left too big a margin, six goals before the attempt at a comeback started.
IFK Kristianstad leads group F being unbeaten and got the better of RK Vardar, 32–31 in a may where Axel Månsson shone with 13 goals.
