In their Champions League debut, Partizani Tirana from Albania earned a historic, first-ever, win. They beat Bosnian titleholders ŽOK Bimal-Jedinstvo Brčko after overcoming a stage fright that was reflected in losing the opening set: 3-1 (15-25, 25-22, 25-20, 25-20). Slovakian Romana Hudecová, the newcomer from Strabag VC Bilíkova Pezinok (Slovakia), highlighted for Partizani with 22 points. Her compatriot Alexandra Vajdová top-scored for Jedinstvo with 25 points, while Katarina Popović made 79% reception (29 digs, 45% excellent).
