Rhein-Neckar Löwen have taken a first, but not yet decisive step to the EHF Finals Men 2024 in Hamburg with a 32:29 win over Sporting CP in the first leg of the EHF European League Men 2023/24 quarter-finals on Tuesday. The hosts looked like taking at least a five-goal lead into next week's second leg, but Sporting did well to reduce the gap and keep their hopes very much alive.
