GROUP A
RD Riko Ribnica (SLO) vs GOG (DEN) 31:36 (14:17)

The match did not affect any of the quarter-final berths or the final standings in the group. GOG’s last hope to reach the quarter-finals was extinguished with the results of Saturday’s matches, while Ribnica had lost their chance to proceed long ago.

GOG never really left any doubt that they were going to bow out with a win, leading all the way from 2:0 at the start and recording a three-goal lead at half-time. GOG held their biggest advantage at seven goals a couple of times in the second half.

Experienced playmaker Tobias Möller – originally a left wing – scored 10 goals for GOG to help settle the team into third in the group with six points.

Left wing Jan Grebenc scored eight times for Ribnica, who finish their first European adventure in the history of the club in fourth position with zero points.
