FC Porto defeated by Veszprém, 36-28, in the opening of the Handball Champions League

FC Porto got off to a poor start in the preliminary phase of the Handball Champions League. On their visit to Veszprém this Wednesday, the Dragons were beaten by the Hungarian side 36-28.

The first half was evenly matched, with the Porto team showing quality and going into the break trailing by the narrowest of margins (15-14). After the interval, however, Veszprém significantly raised the intensity and won the second half 21-14, building a lead that FC Porto could no longer overturn.

The Hungarian side now provisionally leads the group with two points, while FC Porto are fourth, still without a point. The blue-and-white team now prepares for the second round of the competition, scheduled for 17 September at 19:45, against Partizan at the Dragão Arena.
