7-yards missed by Alina Grijseels (Germany)
After Julia Maidhof failed twice in the first half, Alina Grijseels took charge after the break. But even the best scorer of the day now fails from the line.

Goal for Germany, 13:14 by Emily Bölk
Katharina Filter parries on one side, Emily Bölk scores on the other side. This means that the DHB team is back in the lead for the first time since the 2:1.

Goal for Germany, 13:13 by Meike Schmelzer
The Germans haven’t really got the circle into play yet. But now Alina Grijseels serves Meike Schmelzer, who sinks ice cold in front of the goal.

Goal for Germany, 12:12 by Xenia Smits
Both teams initially fail with their own attack, but then the time has come. The DHB selection comes to balance via Xenia Smits!

Go on! The German team throws in and will try to equalize here and set the clocks back to zero.

Mid-term conclusion:
At the break, the German team is 11:12 behind in their opening game against Poland. At the end of the first 30 minutes, the DHB selection can and must be satisfied with this result, because in the meantime it had looked significantly worse. After a hectic start, it was the Poles who found their attacking game faster, while Germany far too often finished uncontrolled and prematurely. Only towards the end were the strong Alina Grijseels and Co. able to stop this and because they had been defending properly the whole time, the DHB girls moved up to one point. Anything is possible in the second round.
30
21:10
Grijseels scores and the German team defends really well again. The equalizer was almost there because the goal was empty. However, the conclusion comes too late.

Goal for Germany, 11:9 by Johanna Stockschläder
Very important phase! Germany is very good at the back and is forcing the Poles to end poorly. Up front, Stockschläder is served wonderfully by Smits on the outside and stays cool in the end. The DHB selection moves to two hits.

Matuszczyk scores on one side to make it 11:7, on the other side the Germans finish too quickly. Alina Grijseels fails because of the goalkeeper, but at least the DHB team stays in possession.

7-yards missed by Julia Maidhof (Germany)
Maidhof fails again! The German misses a seven-meter throw for the second time after hitting twice at the start. It is to be hoped that this will not take revenge!

Goal for Germany, 8:6 by Alina Grijseels
Of course, Alina Grijseels is also important today, who scores again with an individual action and keeps her team in the running here.
17
20:50
Poland now seems a bit looser and lets the ball run better. The Poles simply have a little more patience in this phase and this seems to be the key at the moment.

The initial phase is relatively hectic. Both teams seem a little nervous. The German team also tries to complete the attacks far too quickly instead of building up the actions properly.

At the front, the German team is not yet able to achieve clear final actions against well-positioned Poles. Because you still defend a little too laxly at the back, you’re two goals behind here early on.

Of course, the Germans also need a good performance from their goalkeeper in this tournament. Katharina Filter also takes away the first one-on-one situation here!

Here we go! The Polish selection throws on and in the white dress. Meanwhile, the DHB selection is all in black.
20:12
In order to play a role in a group with hosts Montenegro and World Cup fourth-placed Spain, a win against the Poles should be the best. The first game in Group D also showed that you have to be awake and ready from the start. In the afternoon Spain went down against Montenegro. This shows that anything is possible today if the German team isn’t fully involved from the start.
19:56
After two seventh places at the World Cup and the last European Championship, the German team should finally have something countable this year. The dream of a medal is “all of us,” affirms Emily Bölk with shining eyes: “If a lot comes together, a lot is possible.” However, the dream of precious metal is more of a long-term one. In the short term, the goal for the DHB selection must of course be very clear, to win the opening duel with the Poles in order to create a good starting position for a possible main round.
19:44
Good evening and welcome to the women’s European Handball Championship. This Saturday evening, the DHB selection enters the tournament. The German team will face the Polish team at around 8:30 p.m.!
