Champions | Defeat of KEIO Sabadell and triumph of Zodiac CNAB to close the 1st phase

The Zodiac CN At. Barceloneta and KEIO CN Sabadell were bidding farewell to the group stage of the Men's Champions League. The sailors, already mathematically first in Group C, visited CN Marseille and managed to win with another very complete match (9-12); meanwhile, the Vallesano team bid farewell to the top continental competition with a defeat against Primorac Kotor from Montenegro (14-16).

KEIO Sabadell sought to bid farewell to this edition of the Champions League (they will continue their journey in the Eurocup) with a victory against the Montenegrin Primorac Kotor. However, things took a turn for the worse in a poor first half for the Vallesano team (7-11). A slump in the second quarter (2-7) after an initial 5-4 lead.

After the restart, Colet's team gritted their teeth and managed to get within one goal (12-13) with 6:53 to play in the last quarter. But hopes faded with the 14-16 scored by Shushiasvili 43" from the end.

MATCH RECORD

On the other hand, Zodiac CN At. Barceloneta aimed to close their journey through the group stage with a perfect record, already having secured the first place. The difficult pool of CN Marseille put the sailors to the test, and they responded with professionalism and another very complete match (9-12).

The duel reached halftime with absolute equality (4-4), and Granados' goal before entering the final quarter gave a slight advantage to Fatovic's team (5-6). In the final stretch, Sanahuja scored the crucial 8-10 with 2:39 remaining. Four goals by Álvaro Granados.
