Defending champions SC Magdeburg remain unblemished in the Champions League. The professional handball team coached by Bennet Wiegert won 39:30 (18:16) at Danish representative GOG Håndbold. Omar Ingi Magnusson was Magdeburg's top scorer with eleven goals.
The opening minutes were characterized by numerous missed attempts on both sides: GOG hit the woodwork several times, Magdeburg failed to score against the opposing goalkeeper, but still led (3:1/8th minute). Both teams then increased their scoring rate, Magdeburg was unable to pull away and GOG finally equalized (8:8/16th minute). The SCM was at a disadvantage in the goalkeeper duel, made a number of technical mistakes and fell behind - but was able to correct that with a double strike at the break.
