- the Last 16 matches are scheduled for 13 and 20 February 2021
Two Bosnian sides go through
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s RK Borac m:tel and RK Gracanica are among the teams that have qualified for the Last 16.
After losing 24:22 at KH Besa Famgas a week before, Borac were looking for revenge and earned it. The 23:20 victory in the second leg at home in Banja Luka was just enough for them to go through.
And Gracanica reached the next round without playing – their rivals Holon Yuvalim HC were not able to complete their trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina due to the weather conditions and ultimately withdrew from the competition.
