Austria’s LINZ AG Froschberg needed to win the Golden match against SAINT QUENTIN TT in France to book the last remaining place in the semi-final of the Champions League Women.
Both clubs remained unbeaten on their home soil in the "regular" two legs of the quarterfinal, so the Golden match was introduced.
Polina MIKHAILOVA succeeded twice against Sofia POLCANOVA tonight. On the other side, Susini SAWETTABUT produced the win in the first part tonight and later in the Golden match. Ivana MALOBABIC lost to Linda BERGSTRÖM, who also scored against Sofia POLCANOVA. Ivana MALOBABIC won one match – the decisive one.
In the semi final of the Champions League Women, LINZ AG Froschberg will meet KTS ENEA SIARKO TARNOBRZEG and ETIVAL ASRTT will play SKST Plus Hodonín.
