The formation from the Capital lost its first match since Bojana Popovic was installed as the coach of the “tigre women”. He tried to wake up his students, but worse he offended them. “Are you stupid? Use your brain“, Popovic asked the players. The intervention was captured by background microphones and video cameras in the hall.

Valeria Maslova scored 7 goals for the Bucharest team, Elizabeth Omoregie scored 4 goals, and goalkeeper Evelina Maria Louise Eriksson managed 12 interventions.

Danila Patricia So Delgado Pinto and Sonia-Mariana Seraficeanu each scored 5 goals for the guest, Larissa Nusser managed 4 goals and Renata Lais De Arruda had 17 interventions.

Until the end, CSMB still has to play Corona Brașov (away), CSM Galați (home), HC Zalău (away) and CSM Târgu Jiu (home), and Gloria will meet SCM ''U'' Craiova (home), SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea (away), Corona Brașov (away) and CSM Galați (home).
