Defeat for DHB women: Norway stops the dream of the EM medal!

Wien, Österreich - Norway's handball players have impressively played into the semi -finals of the European Championship and defeated the German national team in Vienna on Monday with 32:27 (19:13). This means that the Scandinavians are unstoppable on the way to further expand their dominance in European handball, while Germany has to wait again after this defeat. The German Handball Association (DHB) will continue to do without its first medal since 1994, as krone.at reported.

The game started promising for the DHB women, which quickly scored the first two goals. But it was short-lived: Norway replied with an impressive 5-0 run and temporarily set off with seven goals. Despite a combative appearance in the second half, in which Viola Leuchter and other players from the German team repeatedly tried to shorten the gap, Norway remained dominant throughout the game. With a score of 2: 6 and only one outstanding game against Slovenia, Germany is now threatening to miss the minimum goal, the top 8, so nw.de .

a combative appearance without a punch

The DHB women who had to do without the sick player Antje Döll had difficulty finding solutions to the strong Norwegian defense. Trainer Markus Gaugisch was visibly desperate and tried desperately to motivate his players. Nevertheless, Norway remained superior in all matters, especially in the first half, which ended with a clear deficit for Germany. Despite the efforts to shorten the distance in the second half, the lead of the Norwegians was too great in order to be seriously in danger.
