Viborg through after splitting points with Valcea

Both SCM Ramnicu Valcea and Viborg HK had boasted a perfect record of three wins in as many group matches, and they are still unbeaten following Sunday's encounter in Romania, which ended in a 30:30 draw.

While Valcea had secured their quarter-final ticket a week ago, a point was enough for Viborg to join them in the next stage.

On Wednesday, the two teams are scheduled to meet again, this time in a rescheduled game in Denmark, and it will be exciting to see if any of the teams will have the upper hand.
