In the Europe Cup Women quarterfinals, Spanish side Universidad de Burgos – RM Terán defeated Hungary’s Budaörsi Sport Club 3-1 in the opening leg.
Only 17 years old, María BERZOSA played a crucial role in the victory, winning both her matches—first against Helga DÁRI to open the tie, and then sealing the overall success by defeating Dóra MADARÁSZ in the fourth match.
“We are very happy with this win. It was a very difficult match, but we fought hard,” said BERZOSA.
lthough Universidad de Burgos – RM Terán relies heavily on a young lineup, the experience of Gabriela FEHER remains central to the team’s success.
“Dóra MADARÁSZ is injured, and she was far from her usual level. I already saw this at the Hungarian Closed Championships, where she couldn’t play the semi-final,” FEHER explained, commenting on the unexpected weakness of the Hungarian club. “On our side, we played very well. I’m proud of our performance—we fought hard. Of course, there’s still a long road ahead, and we must repeat this level in Hungary. Let’s not forget, we have 16- and 17-year-old players in this position. Whatever happens in the return leg, we’ve already had a great season.”
The return leg will be played on April 27 in Hungary.
