The dream of a new World Cup coup has burst for the German U21 handball players. The DHB selection was lost in the quarter-finals against Sweden with 26:32 (14:16) and thus missed the hoped-for medal two years after the gold triumph.
The best thrower for the team of national coach Martin Heuberger, who received her first defeat in the tournament, was David Móré from the Bundesliga club Rhein-Neckar Löwen with seven goals. For the DHB offspring, the meaningless round of placement against Norway continues.
The German team got off to a good start in the Polish Katowice and was quickly 4: 1. But in the middle of the first half, some mistakes crept in.
After a 4-0 run of the Scandinavians, the DHB team was suddenly with three goals in the back 6: 9. Germany ran in vain for this deficit in the further course of the game.
