Goal for Denmark, 16:13 by Mikkel Hansen
34
21:26
Goal for Croatia, 15:13 by Ivan Čupić
But again the reaction, Ivan Čupić with full force from a standing start!
33
21:25
Goal for Denmark, 15:12 by Simon Hald
First Tin Lučin forgives, then the Croatian assignment is not correct at all. Simon Hald is completely independent in the circle.
32
21:24
Goal for Denmark, 14:12 by Mikkel Hansen
Again in seven-on-six.
32
21:24
Goal for Croatia, 13:12 by Marino Marić
31
21:24
Goal for Denmark, 13:11 by Magnus Saugstrup
31
21:23
It continues with ball possession for Denmark. Nikolaj Jacobsen relies on a seventh field player from the start.
31
21:22
Beginning of 2nd half
30
21:10
Mid-term conclusion:
What an exciting handball game! The Danes seemed to take the corona-weakened Croatians a little lightly and were only able to play their game in phases. The Eastern Europeans kept jabbing into the Danish weak periods and thus made sure that everything was still possible at the break. They also had strong backing in Mirko Alilović after he came on.
30
21:07
Goal for Croatia, 12:11 by Marino Marić
Seconds before the end, Marino Marić is passed to the circle again and scores while falling!
30
21:06
Goal for Denmark, 12:10 by Rasmus Lauge Schmidt
Shortly before the break, the Danes turn up the heat again.
29
21:05
7 meters discarded
Croatia -> Ivan Čupić
And then Niklas Landin is there too, stopping the ball with a casual foot defence!
28
21:05
Goal for Denmark, 11:10 by Emil Jakobsen
Emil Jakobsen has to solve it again from the left corner.
26
21:04
Denmark have been without a goal for about five minutes, the offensive momentum is completely gone at the moment. Apparently Croatia was underestimated after the interim four-goal lead.
25
21:02
Goal for Croatia, 10:10 by Marino Marić
Even the compensation, the hall is upside down!
25
21:01
2 minutes for Niclas Kirkeløkke (Denmark)
23
21:00
Goal for Croatia, 10:9 by Mateo Maras
And again the immediate answer!
22
20:58
Goal for Denmark, 10:8 by Emil Jakobsen
But now a ripped spin from the left corner.
22
20:58
Goal for Croatia, 9:8 by Ivan Martinović
Ivan Martinović throws his entire body into the throw and gets the connection!
20
20:57
Croatia comes back to loud cheers and forces Nikolaj Jacobsen to take his first time-out!
20
20:56
Goal for Croatia, 9:7 by Filip Glavaš

20:55
Goal for Denmark, 9:6 by Emil Jakobsen

20:55
Goal for Croatia, 8: 6 by Tin Lučin
19
20:53
Goal for Croatia, 8:5 by Mateo Maras
Youngster’s first goal.
19
20:52
More than five minutes since the last Croatian goal. Therefore, Hrvoje Horvat is already asking a seventh outfield player.
18
20:50
Goal for Denmark, 8:4 by Mathias Gidsel
Now it falls after all, the agile Gidsel scores again. Croatia takes the time-out.
17
20:50
Croatia lose the ball, but Emil Jakobsen leaves the safe 8:4 in front of Mirko Alilović!
16
20:49
Goal for Denmark, 7:4 by Mathias Gidsel
15
20:49
On the other side, Niklas Landin is celebrating his fourth save. The Croatian was already under a lot of pressure, so easy prey for the Kiel goalie.
15
20:48
Hrvoje Horvat changed the keeper early on, Kristian Pilipovic couldn’t make a single distinction.
14
20:46
Goal for Denmark, 6:4 by Mikkel Hansen
Also Mikkel Hansen with a single action. It feels like Denmark still relies a little too much on individual class, but when you have someone like Hansen in your own ranks…
13
20:45
Goal for Croatia, 5: 4 by Tin Lučin
Again Lučin, who practically alone keeps the Croatians’ attacking department alive and scores the connection!
12
20:45
So far, Niklas Landin has made the difference, leading 3-0 after saves.
11
20:43
Goal for Denmark, 5:3 by Emil Jakobsen
Strong pass through the middle, Jakobsen coming from the left corner has a clear path.
10
20:43
2 minutes for Luka Cindrić (Croatia)
At first glance, the punishment seemed excessive, and of course the many Croatian fans also saw it that way.
10
20:42
It was Marin Jelinić who suffered a laceration at the beginning and now disrupts the 5-1 defense up front.
9
20:41
Goal for Croatia, 4:3 by Tin Lučin
Tin Lučin has a solution ready again and chases the ball into the far corner with his strong right throwing arm!
9
20:41
Denmark has so far lived up to its role as favourite, Croatia has not found enough offensive solutions. Two goals in just under nine minutes are of course not enough.
8th
20:40
Goal for Denmark, 4:2 by Emil Jakobsen
Well played.
7
20:39
Goal for Croatia, 3-2 by Tin Lučin
Two strong saves by Niklas Landin, but then Tin Lučin has the faxes thick and fills up through the middle block!
6
20:38
Goal for Denmark, 3-1 by Mathias Gidsel
The future foxes player takes advantage of the majority and goes into one-on-one resolutely.
5
20:37
Goal for Denmark, 2-1 by Mikkel Hansen
Safely in the left angle corner.
5
20:36
2 minutes for Ivan Martinović (Croatia)
Martinović has just seen a yellow card, now he turns back to the opponent. Two minutes and a penalty are the logical consequence.
4
20:35
Goal for Croatia, 1-1 by Luka Cindrić
Since the Croatians have their first goal, with speed it goes forward!
4
20:35
Yellow card for Ivan Martinović (Croatia)
The Hanoverian goes to work with tough bandages. Disorganized initial phase.
2
20:34
Goal for Denmark, 1-0 by Rasmus Lauge Schmidt
2
20:34
A laceration in a Croatian early on, who of course can be treated immediately.
2
20:33
The East Europeans can’t find a way through the massive block, Luka Cindrić loses the ball.
1
20:31
The Spanish referee whistles, Croatia are immediately whipped forward by their own fans. They also came in large numbers.
20:27
Numerous Danes have made it to Budapest and are singing their anthem loudly. The Croatian one is coming soon, then it starts!
20:22
Denmark won their first main round match 28:24 against Iceland and also has two points from the preliminary round. A proud 15 squad players are under contract in the Bundesliga. Of course, the Kiel brothers Niklas and Magnus Landin particularly stand out. Flensburg has the largest share with Kevin Møller, Emil Jakobsen, Lasse Svan, Mads Mensah Larsen, Aaron Mensing and Simon Hald.
20:02
However, the reason for the bad performance of the Croatians is quickly identified: As in the German team, some top performers are not available due to the corona. Of course, the failure of the record player Domagoj Duvnjak weighs particularly heavily. Croatia also lost the Balkan derby against Montenegro by 26:32.
19:56
Both teams belong to the crème de la crème in European and global handball: Denmark has already won all three major tournaments, most recently the World Cup twice in a row. Croatia has already been Olympic champion and world champion, after the second place at the EM 2020 it should now be enough for the big hit on European terrain. The Kauboji are currently a long way from that.
19:32
Have a nice evening and welcome to a main round game in group one: Denmark, with numerous Bundesliga players, welcome Croatians who have almost been eliminated. It starts at 8:30 p.m.!
