To win in order to still be able to dream of a possible clearance, FC Porto ended up defeated in the reception to the Füchse Berlin, being immediately unable to overcome the Germanic formation.
The Füchse, who had already beaten the ‘dragons’ in the previous round by 40-32, is ranked second, with six points, to two of the Hungarian commanders of Veszprem, while the ‘blues and whites’ occupy the third position, with only two points.
