Hovocubo’s futsal players have an experience richer, but an illusion poorer. The team from Hoorn has lost its first group match in the Champions League. Title candidate Barcelona was too strong in Malta by large numbers: 6-1.
Pito, a player from Barcelona, gave his team the lead. It was Lahcen Bouyouzan, who scored the equalizer two minutes later: 1-1. The Spaniard Sergio González again took the lead in the first half: 2-1.
After the break, the Catalans ran out via Ferrao, Hicham Aklalouch (own goal), Dyego and Catela. Hovocubo plays two other group matches. The Maltese Luxol St. Andrews is the opponent tomorrow evening, Hovocubo will play against Dobovec (Slovenia) on Saturday.

Heavier group
Due to the good performances of last season, the futsal players are in a more difficult group. That does have an advantage, because the three best teams advance to the last sixteen (elite round).
