- This time we made a really good match. I am proud of the girls, says Sävehof's coach Rasmus Overby to Expressen.

The reigning Swedish championship team lost at home to Höör on Monday with 26-17 but offered good resistance tonight.

- It is not possible to compare with how we played against Höör. Today we played good handball.

As close as possible, Sävehof was three balls behind. An expulsion on Emma Fernis and a penalty against the retaliation from Sävehof.

The next match in the Champions League will be played for Sävehof's part in Partille Arena on February 2 against Romanian Ramnicu Valcea. The first four teams of six in Group 2 advance to the quarterfinals. Sävehof is fifth with the same score, two, as the four, just Ramnicu Valcea.
