Gloria Bistrița Exits Champions League with Heads Held High After Honorable Performance Against Brest

While the outcome was not what we hoped for, Gloria Bistrița exits the Women's Champions League with its head held high. Our valiant team put up a courageous fight against a formidable Brest side in the quarterfinals, ultimately falling short after a challenging two-leg tie. The aggregate scoreline—36-35 in the first leg and 36-30 in the second—tells a story of a close contest, especially considering the intense atmosphere on Brest's home turf.

In the final match in France, our Ardelene players demonstrated remarkable resilience. They led at various points and kept the score tight, entering halftime with only a one-goal deficit (14-13). However, the French hosts found another gear in the second half, pulling away to secure the victory. It was a compelling duel between standout players Vyakhireva for Brest, who scored 8 goals, and our own So Delgado, who netted an impressive 9 goals for Bistrița.
