CSM Bucuresti defeated group B leaders Brest in the women’s Champions League Match of the Week. The high-scoring home victory increased pressure around the two positions that would provide direct quarter-final qualification as the group phase approached its final rounds.
FTC won away at Sola despite travelling with only twelve players because of injuries. The Hungarian club recovered from an early 7–2 deficit, with Blanka Böde-Bíró’s goalkeeping helping restore parity before Angela Malestein’s goals contributed to a stronger second-half performance.
Odense recorded an eighteen-goal victory over Podravka, whose losing sequence extended to nine matches. The hosts gained control through an early five-goal run and used their rotation as the advantage grew, responding emphatically to the draw between the same clubs earlier in the season.
