The European Handball Championship is entering the home stretch, and the next semi-finalist has been determined. In the Scandinavia duel, Sweden prevailed against Norway despite a clear half-time deficit.
After defending champion Spain, record champion Sweden has also reached the semi-finals of the European Handball Championship. In a thrilling duel, the Swedes beat Norway by 24:23 (9:14) on Tuesday evening in Bratislava. The Swedes’ best thrower was Valter Chrintz from FĂĽchsen Berlin with six goals, for the Norwegians Harald Reinkind from THW Kiel was also the most successful with six goals. Norway’s superstar Sander Sagosen (also THW Kiel) missed the chance of a draw shortly before the end, which would have been enough for the Norwegians to reach the knockout stage.
Spain had previously won their final main round match against Poland 28:27 (14:13) and thus reached a European Championship semi-final for the sixth time in a row. World champions Denmark were the first team to make it into the semi-finals on Monday.
