Rapid Bucharest – CSM Bucharest 30-28

Rapid won the Flower League stage derby with CSM Bucharest after a match largely controlled by Julestense.

The team coached by David Ginesta Montes played a good game and led by 3 goals at the break.

In the second half, although “Rapidul” had an advantage of 4 goals, “tigers” at one point managed to restore equality, but the perseverance of the hosts eventually brought them victory.

With the win, the Rapid moved within 6 points of the Florilor League first place champion CSM.

For Adi Vasile’s team, this is the first defeat of the season after 15 consecutive victories.

This Giulio group’s win over Tigroice was their first since promotion in 2019.

It was Cristina Neagu & Co’s first defeat at home after a streak of 58 contested matches.
