Győr struggled in the CL semi-final, three red cards were shown

Győr endured a challenging semi-final match in the Champions League, ultimately securing a place in the final despite a hard-fought battle against Brest. The Hungarian team faced significant adversity, including three red cards issued during the intense game.

Despite moments where Brest took the lead, notably with Vjahirjeva scoring her sixth goal to put them ahead 26-25, Győr showed resilience. Even after Housheer received a two-minute suspension, the team battled back. Although Fodor Csenge and Emilie Hovden struggled to convert from the wing, and Brest extended their lead to two goals by the 47th minute, Győr managed to equalize through Helena Elver with ten minutes left on the clock.

The match remained tense until the final moments. Brest lost Yvette Petrakova to a red card after her third suspension. Crucial saves from Győr's Hatadou Sako came at opportune times, but the offense continued to falter. However, Kristina Jörgensen scored the equalizer from eight meters with just two minutes remaining, her first goal of the game on her fifth shot.

In the closing minute, Győr took the lead with a goal from Dufler, making it 31-30. Brest, attempting a final attack, pulled their goalkeeper, but an inaccurate pass from Vjahirjeva sealed their fate. Győr advanced to the final, where they will face Metz on Sunday at 6 p.m.
