The 2026/27 ETTU Champions League Women continues in Budaörs on Saturday, with the second day of Stage 1 bringing another important round of matches in the battle for the two available places in Stage 2.
Friday’s opening day already provided plenty of drama. In Group A, both matches finished 8-7, with MIRÓ Ganxets edging PGE Fibrain KU AZS Politechnika Rzeszow and Linz AG Froschberg overcoming STK Dr. Časl Zagreb. That left MIRÓ and Linz with one victory each heading into Day 2.
In Group B, SKST Plus Hodonin opened with an 8-2 victory over hosts SH-ITB Budaörsi Sport Club, while ASD Quattro Mori Cagliari came through another close encounter to beat Son Cladera TTC – Mallorca 8-7. Hodonin and Quattro Mori therefore started Saturday with one win apiece.
With only the winner of each group progressing to Stage 2, every result carries considerable weight as the qualification picture begins to take shape.
In Group A, STK Dr. Časl Zagreb bounced back strongly from Friday’s narrow defeat, recording an 8-1 victory over PGE Fibrain KU AZS Politechnika Rzeszow.
Kotomi OMODA opened against Ilona SZTWIERTNIA and collected two points for the Croatian side. After OMODA won the first game 11-3, SZTWIERTNIA responded 11-4, but OMODA took the third 11-8.
Margaryta PESOTSKA followed with an excellent performance against Zuzanna WIELGOS, taking all three games 11-6, 11-7, 11-7.
Yun-En TSAI then completed the victory against Paula KRYSINSKA. The first two games were closely contested, with TSAI prevailing 11-9 and 12-10, before taking the third 11-5 to bring the match to an early conclusion.
