Marítimo and Limoges shared the points in a tight EHF Cup encounter that ended 30:31 to the French visitors, and here's the thing — you'd expect a home advantage to tilt things, but this was decided by inches. The result leaves Marítimo third on zero points from their opening game, a draw that feels like a missed opportunity given their recent form. Limoges move up to second place with two points after their first victory of the campaign.
The home side had looked promising in their recent run, picking up wins against Povoa and Vitoria, but they were left exposed by a narrow defeat that keeps them adrift at the top. To be fair, Limoges have been inconsistent themselves, losing three of their last five matches including heavy defeats against PSG and Nantes.
What matters here is the margin — one goal separates these sides after what must have been a fierce contest. Marítimo are staring at the drop if they don't start converting draws into wins, while Limoges hold every card with momentum from their first victory.
