Podravka Vegeta and Storhamar Handball Elite celebrated their first wins of the season. The Croatian side did it with a decisive victory over CS Gloria 2018 BN, dominating from the start and thus welcoming a long-awaited win. In the Scandinavian derby, Storhamar Handball Elite's strong second half lifted them past Nykøbing Falster Håndbold.

The Match of the Week met the expectations — it was an intense game throughout but Cléopatre Darleux's sensational performance stopped FTC-Rail Cargo Hungaria's winning streak and pushed Metz to a fourth consecutive win and to top of the table. CSM Bucuresti beat Krim Mercator and left the Slovenian side with the first defeat of the season.
