CSM Bucharest qualified in FABULOUS fashion in the EHF Youth Club Trophy final » Recovered 8 goals against Gyor

The inaugural edition of the EHF Youth Club Trophy also has CSM Bucharest at the start. Already a win to reach among the 4 best academies of the continent. The girls from Bucharest, “intruded” between 3 representatives of Hungary, came to Budapest to “enjoy handball”, according to the young coach Alexandru Moise.

And they did it in the first minutes of the semi-final with Gyor. Maria Sprîncenatu opened the ball with a beautiful goal, shot from the hip. CSM Bucharest held almost until the middle of the first act. A few easily lost balls, fruitful counterattacks by opponents, they have made the difference at halftime too big, 21-13.

CSM Bucharest, return as champion to Budapest!

The start of the second half brought back hope. Maria Antonescu and Maria Petrache didn't miss anything, and the little “tigers” scored 7 times in 7 minutes. The time-out didn't help the Hungarians either.

The Romanian fans in BUD Arena were on their feet and started to hope! Maria Sprîncenatu converted a 7 meters for 21-23. The chase continues, the same Maria, this time from a long distance! Gyor's advance shattered in less than 10 minutes.

The 45th minute brought what seemed inevitable! Bucharest took the advantage, they also had a great chance to break away. Maria Sprîncenatu, the best on the court, tried a lob from 7 meters. He threw into the goal net. He got his revenge immediately, with a strong throw, he put the goalkeeper's hand over his head. CSM, again in advantage, 31-30.

The ending was forbidden to the faint of heart. With 30 seconds left and leading, Gyor called time-out. The Romanians defended perfectly, recovered the ball, but did not manage to keep it until the end. Although he fumbled in his steps and hit the ball with emotions, Hanna Martin threw from over 10 meters and scored. There were 3 seconds left to avoid overtime. It ended 34-34, another round of emotions was coming.

Maria Sprîncenatu – let's remember the name!

The balance persisted in the first extra period. For Maria Sprîncenatu, it seemed that the semifinal had just begun. Sprints, goals from all positions! The 17-year-old coordinator ended the match with 15 goals, but on the bench. Eliminated with two minutes left in the contest, she began to cry in frustration.

The tears soon became tears of happiness! The colleagues recovered the ball, scored again and CSM Bucharest will play the grand final! Sunday, from 12:30, in the already legendary MVM Dome!

We have prepared every detail and we do everything we can to practice quality handball, to play with joy and enthusiasm. That's our main goal in the Final Four. Everyone is fit and ready to enjoy an unforgettable experience in Budapest
