Malta champions Sliema Burger King were no match for strong Hungarians Honved when the second day of the LEN Champions Cup preliminary round was played yesterday in Slovenia.

Last year Honved made it all the way to the final of the LEN Cup. Yesterday, they were in a class of their own, scoring 18 goals without reply. Their intentions were clear from the outset as goalkeeper Josie Cachia was called to save a penalty inside the opening minute.

Honved, with four members of Hungary's gold medal winning team in Sydney 2000, scored five goals in the opening session and never looked back. On Friday, the Hungarians beat Spandau Berlin who yesterday beat hosts Kranj 6-5.

The tournament comes to a close today. Sliema play against Germans Spandau Berlin.
