With tasty treats from the back room. Philipp Weber had previously left a degree behind.

Yogi Bitter again! This time he can parry a Sagosen finish from the left corner!

Foul on Weber, Germany plays down the time with a man down.
15

With a strong save against Sander Sagosen, Johannes Bitter prevented the equalizer again! In the subsequent German possession of the ball, he leaves the field in favor of an additional field player.

Drux has to go down again.

Paul Drux is new on the floor and in his first action he unhappily hits the Norwegian goalie in the face.
12
20:43
Goal for Norway, 5: 4 by Sebastian Barthold
Quite confidently past Johannes Bitter on the right.
11
20:41
Goal for Germany, 5:3 by Lukas Zerbe
A moment of glory! Johannes Bitter sends Lucas Zerbe on his journey with a very long stick. The pass comes straight to the arm of the outside player from Lemgo, who nets when he falls!
10
20:41
The consistent defensive work of the DHB team should be emphasized. It is thanks to the tight cover in the center that Norway has to take shots from an acute angle.

20:39
Goal for Norway, 4-3 by Kristian Bjørnsen
Again Bjørnsen from the right corner, as he falls he somehow maneuvers the ball into the net.

20:32
Norway takes the lead. Or not? No, Sebastian Barthold leaves the actually safe goal from the left corner and only hits the side netting. After two minutes, the first goal is still a long time coming.
20:28
As against Spain, veteran Johannes Bitter guards the box again. Patrick Zieker, Lukas Zerbe, Julian Köster, Christoph Steinert, Philipp Weber and Johannes Golla also made it into the German starting line-up. Torbjørn Bergerud, Kristian Bjørnsen, Harald Reinkind, Magnus Gullerud, Christian O’Sullivan, Sander Sagosen and Sebastian Barthold, the third-best scorer of the tournament so far, will start for Norway.
20:18
The results so far over the course of the day: Spain narrowly beat Russia 26:25, Sweden clearly defeated Poland 28:18. In order to keep the reins in your own hands, you need a win today.
20:02
The Scandinavians have never won a major tournament. After two second places at the 2017 and 2019 World Championships and the bronze medal at the 2020 European Championships, however, the hunger for the title is huge. Norway is one of the few teams that is fortunate not to have a single corona case in its own ranks. The seven Bundesliga legionnaires are therefore all in the squad, with Harald Reinkind and Sander Sagosen from Kiel standing out in particular. Sagosen scored nine times against Poland yesterday.
19:51
Like Germany, Norway also has two points after the first day of play. While the DHB team still benefited from the two points taken from the preliminary round and lost the first main round game against Spain with 23:29, Norway won 42:31 against Poland yesterday.
19:44
The good news first: All players tested negative for Covid-19 in the afternoon, so Alfreð Gíslason can count on the full squad from the Spain game again. However, the Icelander is missing his assistant coach today – Erik Wudtke’s test was positive, team manager Oliver Roggisch takes his place on the bench today.
19:38
Have a nice evening and welcome to the second European Championship main round game of the German handball players! After the opening defeat against Spain, two points would be extremely important, but Corona is still poaching in the DHB camp. At 20:30 it starts in Bratislava!
