Romania’s women’s handball team has provided the first disappointment at the European Championship, underway in France. Romania sustained a 24 to 29 defeat by the Netherlands, in the first main groups fixture. In Nancy, the Romanian national team was surprisingly below par, given that in the competition’s main group stage Romania’s trail included wins against the Czech Republic, Germany and Norway. In the game against the Netherlands, Romania’s top scorer was Eliza Buceschi, with eight goals scored. The Dutch goalkeeper Tess Wester made the difference with 15 saves, accounting for a 42% save rate all throughout the game. In main group II, the Netherlands have the lead with 6 points out of 3 games played, followed by Romania, with 4 points amassed in a similar number of games. Germany and Hungary are 3rd and 4th-placed, respectively, also with 4 points, amassed in 4 games. Norway is 5th-placed, with 2 points on their record sheet, while Spain are bottom of the table, with zero points. Romania’s next scheduled fixture is the match against Spain, on December 11.



Romania’s capital city Bucharest this past weekend played host to the Champions League and Europe League in judo, both men’s and women’s. More than 400 judoka took part in the competition. Four teams from Romania also proved their mettle in the aforementioned competitions. In the Champions League this past Friday, CSM Bucharest and U CSM Dinamo Cluj Napoca were 5th placed in the men’s and women’s events, respectively. In Europa League on Saturday, CSM CSU Pitesti lost in men’s rechapage, while on Sunday, SCM Deva came 5th in the women’s version of Europa League.



This past weekend saw games being played, counting towards the 19th-round of domestic League One Championship. On Saturday in Targu Mures, FC Hermannstadt and Dinamo Bucharest drew 1-all. In Cluj, the local side CFR and Gaz Metan Medias also drew, 2-all this time. Gaz Metan had a 2-nil lead throughout the game, but Cluj came from behind and leveled the score. In the last minute, CFR were granted a spot kick, but Argentinean Juan Culio wasted the opportunity to score as the ball hit the crossbar.



On Sunday, Poli Iasi secured a 1-nil home win against Dunarea Calarasi, while Astra Giurgiu defeated Concordia Chiajna, 3-1, also on home turf. Round nineteen’s last three games are scheduled on Monday, as Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe face FC Botosani, Universitatea Craiova take on FC Voluntari, while FCSB are pitted against Viitorul Constanta.
