Podravka Women Croatia hosted Győr in the EHF Champions League on Friday evening, but the Hungarian side secured a narrow 26:23 victory away from home.
It was a reversal from their meeting just three weeks ago, when Győr ran out 37:24 winners in Croatia.
Podravka's recent record shows mixed fortunes, with defeats to DVSK and Lokomotiva Zagreb among their last five matches.
Győr have been in more consistent form, recording victories over Nika, Dunajska-Strada and Brest Bretagne since their opening round loss to Metz.
Both teams now sit on zero points in the standings after this opening fixture of the tournament.
