Mid-term conclusion:
Germany is 12:15 behind in the second group game against Montenegro! The DHB selection sells itself properly in the cauldron of Podgorica and physically fully opposes it. Unfortunately, Markus Gaugisch’s team makes too many mistakes and concedes too many penalties, otherwise things would probably look better here. Outnumbered, the hosts were able to break away with a 4-0 run and carry the lead into half-time. At the front, the DHB women have to be more careful with the ball and keep up the pace, at the back, top scorer Đurđina Jauković (5 goals) in particular has to slow down. Then everything is still possible here in the second round. See you soon!

Now Germany also gets a time penalty after video evaluation. Luisa Schulze pushed Ivona Pavićević from behind.

18:31
The match is currently incredibly wild. Both sides can’t find any decent deals and produce one or the other turnover.
24
18:30
Katharina Filter finally takes away a Montenegrin shot after a long time and then the Germans throw the ball away again in attack. Of course it will be difficult.

Bitter! Germany can shorten and initially plays it brilliantly. After deception, Smits lays out on the left to Stockschläder, who is completely free, but Batinović fails.

Goal for Germany, 8:9 by Xenia Smits
Germany also plays the majority well. Xenia Smits sets the pace, doesn’t let herself be pushed aside on the outside line and does it alone.

18:20
Goal for Germany, 7:9 by Maren Weigel
Offensively that’s neat at the DHB. The ball runs fast and well, this time Bölk finds the gap for Weigel and she hits the thing hard.

18:19
Goal for Montenegro, 5-8 by Đurđina Jauković
The little things are currently going against the German team. Sometimes it doesn’t fit in the end, sometimes there is a throw-in in a controversial situation for Montenegro. It shouldn’t be that Jauković is then allowed to move freely in the central backcourt.

18:11
Goal for Montenegro, 3-5 by Đurđina Malović
Germany lost a bit of the thread due to being outnumbered. Julia Maidhof gives the ball up front with a bad pass and Montenegro is getting better and better. This time Malović nets from the right backcourt bottom left.

Here we go! Montenegro plays in black, Germany wears white.
17:56
Slowly but surely, the tension in the well-filled hall is increasing. The national anthems are currently playing and in a few minutes the second group game between Germany and Montenegro can start!
17:51
The Montenegrins are coached by Bojana Popović, who was involved when her country were crowned European champions in 2012. The Eastern Europeans are of good quality, especially in the backcourt with the offensively and defensively strong Đurđina Malović, Milena Raičević and Đurđina Jauković. The German backcourt has to counter that today.
17:45
Not only physically, but also mentally, the German handball players have to be up to par today. Over 3,000 frenetic fans will transform Sportski centar Moraca into the “Hell of Podgorica” and loudly support the hostesses. “Of course there is a risk of being influenced by this incredible atmosphere,” warned captain Emily Bölk, who also has a solution ready: “We are preparing ourselves mentally for this task so that we can use it more as a motivation for our game to use.”
17:39
The German team initially had serious problems in the opening match against the Poles, who were considered to be the weakest in group D. Co-captain Alina Grijseels helped turn things around with eight goals and gave Markus Gaugisch’s team a successful start. Against Montenegro, the DHB selection has to improve and play more consistently to have a chance.
17:33
Both teams started the tournament successfully. The Montenegrins won 30:23 against Spain, Germany was able to record a 25:23 against Poland thanks to an increase in performance in the final phase. This makes it clear that the winner of today’s game will advance to the main round early.
17:30
Hello and welcome to the second game of the German national team at the European Handball Championship 2022! After the opening success against Poland, the DHB selection will take on hosts Montenegro at 6 p.m. in Podgorica!
