Real continue to win

The Spanish side always looked in control - leading 22-16 at the break - and are now leaders of Group B having taken maximum points from their first two games.

Portland San Antonio also made it two from two when they proved too strong for RK 'Bosna' Sarajevo handing out a 32-22 defeat to the fourth-seeded club in Group A.

France side Chamberg recorded a much needed win when they snuck past Crvena Zvezda Beograd 27-26. The Serbian side looked as if they were well in control at half-time leading 14-9 but Chamberg struck back in the second half to take the vital two points.

Qualifiers RK Metalurg Skopje's tournament continued to get worse as they were handed their second straight defeat in Group D.

They were out-classed by German side SG Flensburg-Handewitt - who now move to the top of their group - to the tune of 39-27.

Also in Group D, top seeded RK Zagreb hit back from last week's loss to Flensburg-Handewitt to defeat Chehovskie Medvedi 26-19.

Celje continued their strong run of form and stretched their lead in Group F as they notched up another two points by defeating Fram Reykjavik 35-24.

The defeat marks Reykjavik's second from two matches and their chances of getting through the group stage are now looking slim.

The final match on Sunday saw qualifiers Panellinios AC Athens take on RK Gold Club Kozina. Both teams had lost their opening matches and were desperate for a win to get their campaigns off the ground.

In a hard-fought match Panellinios Athens found themselves on top 17-11 at the half-time break and, although Kozina attempted a comeback in the second-half, the Greek side held on to win 32-27.
