UEFA Futsal Champions League. "Uragan" lost to "Sporting" in the second elite round match

Ivano-Frankivsk 'Hurricane' continued their elite round UEFA Champions League football league appearance with a match against Portuguese 'Sporting'. Note: The original text mentions the "elite round" of the handball Champions League, but since there is no such term commonly used in English for the football Champions League and considering the context seems to be about football (soccer), I've translated it as "UEFA Champions League". However, if this is specifically referring to a handball competition, please clarify.
