Goal for France, 14:15 by Hugo Descat
Undeterred by his misthrow, the left winger goes back into action with self-confidence. Despite a small angle, he hits the far corner again. Palicka, who has been making a good game so far, could have kept it.

21:13
Goal for Sweden, 10:11 by Jonathan Carlsbogård
There is the first lead of the Swedes! Carlsbogård takes on two defenders at once. He turns and throws at the goal without looking. The ball goes into the goal because the French were waiting for the 7-meter whistle.
21
21:12
Time out France Now Gille is also taking a break. His team is now making more mistakes, especially in attack. The former world-class middleman can’t like that.

21:10

And straight back into the empty goal. This makes the keeper the top scorer of the game!

13
21:01
Goal for Sweden, 7:6 by Andreas Palicka
First Palicka holds the throw and then becomes the scorer himself. Gérard, who stormed in from the bench, was able to touch his throw from his own circle into the empty goal of the French team, but he was unable to defend it decisively.
12
21:01
Goal for Sweden, 7:5 by Jim Gottfridsson
The Flensburg player uses the majority and goes through the defense.
12
21:01
Sweden is now slowly but surely in the game. They get along better in defense with the two left-handers of the French and there is more speed in the actions up front.
12
21:00

The right winger wanted to get fouled by a striker, but he runs into Lagergren and rightly has to be on the bench for two minutes.
10
20:58

20:47
Sweden have a throw-off and after a few problems with the ball things can really get going.
20:45
The hall in Budapest is full, which takes some getting used to in view of the ongoing corona pandemic. But one thing is clear: handball fans can look forward to an exciting game between two teams that have shaped world handball in recent years.
20:41
Sweden, on the other hand, has some concerns. With Felix Claar and Hampus Wanne, two important pillars are missing from Glenn Solberg’s team. At least Andreas Palicka and Daniel Pettersson are back. It will still be hard work if they want to reach the final.
20:39
The French team are showing a lot of self-confidence today. After the narrow 30:29 victory against Denmark, they were able to secure victory in the main round. And just in time for the semifinals, not only trainer Guillaume Gille returns, but also defense specialist Karl Konan. So they start with the best possible team.
20:30
Hello and welcome to the second semi-final match between France and Sweden. Throw-off is at 8:45 p.m.
