Confirmed development
Buducnost secured first place in women's Champions League Group A by beating Hypo Niederösterreich 30–29 on 17 February 2001. The EHF's contemporary annual report labels the location Vienna (Südstadt), in the area south of Vienna. Hypo led 16–14 at halftime, but Buducnost won the second period 16–13 to turn a two-goal deficit into a one-goal away victory.
Details
Sandra Kolakovic scored four goals and Maja Savic two, totals recorded both in the contemporary report and EHF player histories. The close finish contrasted with Buducnost's 36–28 home win over Hypo earlier in the group. The visitors therefore completed two wins against the Austrian club, with the second encounter requiring a recovery after the interval.
Context
Buducnost ended the six-game group with three wins, two draws and one defeat, totaling eight points. Volgograd AKVA finished second on seven after losing 24–23 at Frederiksberg, while Hypo remained on six. Buducnost advanced to a quarter-final against Norway's Baekkelagets SK. The result settled a group in which only two points separated the first three clubs.
