Danish national team player Helena Elver contributed four goals to Györ's victory, while Norwegian winger Emilie Hovden—who previously played for Viborg—was the match's leading goal scorer with 11 goals.
Gyor has won the Champions League seven times since 2013—most recently in 2024 and 2025—and is a formidable force in European women's handball, a fact NFH quickly discovered.
In a messy start to the match, the Danish team managed to take a 1–0 lead after five minutes, but things quickly swung the other way.
After fifteen minutes of play, Gyor led 9–2. As the scoreline strongly suggests, NFH struggled immensely to score against the powerful Hungarian defense, which featured Sandra Toft in goal.
NFH coach Niels Agesen called a timeout to stop the bleeding, and the Danish team did find their footing somewhat in the final fifteen minutes of the first half, during which Gyor's lead did not grow at the same rapid pace.
At halftime, the home team led 18–10.
There were positive moments for NFH along the way—such as when Swedish left-winger Clara Lerby smashed the ball into the top corner from a tight angle for her fourth goal, making the score 11–19.
Lerby finished as NFH's leading goal scorer with eight goals, ahead of Alberte Hovgaard-Hansen with seven.
Their goals helped NFH narrow the gap to 22–27 with just under fifteen minutes remaining, having previously trailed by ten goals on several occasions.
However, this prompted Gyor to tighten their grip on the game. The Hungarians scored seven unanswered goals to make it 34–22 before NFH managed to make the final scoreline look slightly more respectable.
