JAPAN 19 FINAL - Hearing familiar voices

Hearing Paul on the IHF streaming is really odd and funny at the same time. 
Final being streamed live
Early start and 3-1 to Spain. Cabral with a great steal. Devastating. AUPA GUERRERAS 
Mireia manages two in the space of a minute. One easy followed a huge extension.
Her mother must be over the moon. 
It is 5-2 on 5 minutes. Defence is key, as a first attack
Monumental Sylvia in goal. She is such a sweet inspiration.
It is 7-4 on 8 minutes.
Cabral miss may be costly but thank God Sylvia saves the day. Redeemed herself Alexandra and the score-line is 8-5 on 10 minutes played
Nerea gets her penalty.
Inexplicably it is 9-8 on 15 minutes. Efficiency in attack not as clear cut
Never under-estimate and quitar errores por favor.
9-9 on 16 minutes.
It is very quiet over the last five minutes. 
The French twin refs are not in trouble.
Poor block so penalised and Spanish goal cancelled.
Cesareo grabbing a suspension.
Ironically suddenly three suspensions within seconds.
Second penalty for Nerea it 10-9 on 22 minutes.
Lovely goal by Snelder I have to say. 
New player Fernandez makes it 11-10 on 23 minutes.
Paul appears to want the Dutch team to win but I want Spain to win when we both need to be neutral. Ah ha.
Nerea missing her third penalty. 
With 5 minutes left it is a draw 12-12
I agree that it is not pretty handball
Snelder makes an impact with a delicate shot 12-13 with 4 minutes left on the clock.
Bunt, playing in the Danish league, gets in the inside making it 13-14.
Zhorby struggles and another for Snelder making it now 13-16 with thirty seconds left.
Another penalty miss from Spain.
Buzzer first half the Netherlands leading unfortunately by three. Huge psy breakdown?
End of first half. SPAIN 13 - NETHERLANDS 16
Old picture enclosed.






Second half starts.

Darla plays in Romania now. Lara sweetly had defended. 
On 32 minutes it is 15-17
How can you be in the area after such a great pass by Wesster. Tess made a few saves now. Important ones?
On 34 minutes it is 15-18
Soledad intenta salir de la soledad del banquillo
Untidy handball at the minute. 
You can see that Marta improved her defensive displays with the selection.
Statistical guru, Paul oily in his job and commentary.
Snelder with a lob driving to a 4-goal advantage as scoreboard reads 16-20 on 38 minutes
Finally time out calling. No pierdamos el enfoque.  17-22
Pena gives hope as it becomes 20-23
A young hungry Spanish team now losing only 21-23 with just over 12 minutes played in that second half.
Interesting layered defence by Spain.
Poor attack by the Dutch leading to a failed attack by Spain as turnovers increase, making the game a tad slow and not as manic as expected.
It is 46 minutes and the score-line stays at 21-23.
The Dutch wall is more compact.
Mayonnade shrugs at its fellow French referees.
Fernandez provides a bit of hope  22-24 on 48 minutes being played.
Empty goal spotted but the two-goal advantage is quickly restored with ten minutes to go as Paul correctly points out.
Cabral is making, through a generous penalty, 25-26 with 9 minutes on the clock
Time is running out and so are the ideas?
Zhobi struggles with a powerful shot when Tess gets lucky.
A huge error by Fernandez as she stepped on the line
Time is stopped and just over five minutes left.
Si se puede Vamos. Soledad no ha podido reducir el deficit.
Zhobi avoided the goal and Marta Lopez Herrero reduces scoreline to a one goal game.
But Poolman scores so many goals. 
Cabral, now with seven goals keeps Spanish hopes alive with three minutes left. It is 28-29
Nunez is not playing on the field. Cabral should have done better but Tess got the better.
But Marta Lopez Herrero makes it 29-29 as the Dutch attacks are less sleek.
90 seconds left. What Mayonnade is to tell them?
Tia, macho, cuidado. Por favor. Una defensa.
Not for the faint-hearted per Mr Bray heroics.
Lara keeps the solid defending going. Passive play
30 seconds for the turnover and team time out with 21 seconds.
Hernandez has the 30-second rule applied. Gave away the penalty as she feared the long pass. Got red carded as well.
CRUEL DESENLACE.
Spain 29 - Netherlands 30
