Gala against Brazil: DHB women reach semi-finals

The DHB team got off to a dream start in the game against Brazil. But then a wild game develops at times.

The German handball players won their most important home game in recent decades and reached the semi-finals of a World Cup for the first time since 2007. In the sold-out Dortmund Westfalenhalle, national coach Markus Gaugisch’s team continued their successful run with a 30:23 (17:11) win against Brazil and secured the bronze medal game. After the seventh success in a row, players and fans are now dreaming of a really big coup.

In front of an outstanding crowd of 10,522 spectators, captain Antje Döll became the best DHB thrower with six goals, goalkeeper Katharina Filter contributed ten saves to the victory. Making it to the final weekend in Rotterdam is already the biggest success in German women’s handball since winning bronze at the World Cup 18 years ago and brings the players a bonus of 100,000 euros. Denmark or France are now waiting in the semi-finals on Friday.
