EHF Men 2020 - Last day for nothing
Earlier whilst we were at work Spain and Croatia drew.
We then, whilst on the bus, watched Norway Slovenia first half as Norway leading by one at the interval (14-13).
At home I can have Czech Republic vs Germany on the phone and Sweden vs Iceland on the PC
No handball tomorrow. How odd?
FIRST HALF
1-a piece in Icelandic battle and Germany finally gets
the lead after 3 min played
Iceland do not seem to be very motivated
The Czech off the mark after 5 mins, in the meantime
therefore Sweden large lead 4-1 (5’)
A minute later the Czech Republique is up 2-1. But
Germany reacted swiftly 2-4 (9’45)
Arnesson jumps with an impressive third goal making it
9-5 (14’30) and he now has half of his team’s 10 goals 10-7 (16’)
Galia from his own goal scores into the empty net 5-6 (16’15)
What a pass by Appelgren as Sweden has a decent lead
against soulless Iceland following their disappointing main round results 13-8 (21’30)
Maqueda look-alike made in PRAHA leaps to beautiful goal
8-10 (22’15)
Iceland have only scored 10 goals in over 25 minutes.
Mind you it is 9-10 in the Germany match after 24 minutes.
Fast break for Sweden whose players are getting a 6-goal
lead (26’45)
A missed penalty by Zdrahala enables Germany to keep a
2-goal advantage 9-11 (25’)
Petersson also plays at RNL. OUCH USAM.
Easy combination for Sweden and it’s 18-11 at the break.
Weber secures a 4-goal lead on a low scoring affair
and Bitter avoids a deficit reduced to 2 goals moments before the half-time
break. CESKY 10 – Germany 13.
SECOND HALF
Unorthodox Nilsson scores a bizarre goal making the
scoreline 20-12 (34’)
Galia provides an important save helping his team
closing the gap 12-13 (33’45)
Gustaffson missed his pass but almost scored an
awkward goal (35’)
Surprisingly Germany now losing 14-13 with 36 mins on
the clock. It took Germany just over six mins to score their first goal in the
2nd half.
Wing play by Iceland but it looks as if he had put his
foot on the floor before releasing the ball, but not seen by the officials.
SVERIGE does not need more chocolate! They are now
leading 25-16 (43’)
Bitter quick thinking enables Germany to extend their
lead 14-16 (41’)
Weber impressive forward play and Germany still in the
lead 16-18 (44’25)
The young fans enjoying the Swedish easy ride 27-19 (48’)
Appelgren having a decent game, and the Icelandic
mission is impossible. Palicka can stay on the bench.
Beautiful wing play by Sweden: 29-20 for Sweden with
change in ball movement (52’)
So far Iceland did not get any suspension, not surprising
as they are not defending with a lot of aggressivity. Elisson cuts the deficit
in such an easy fashion 29-22 (54’) but Appelgren got injured as he moved
backwards.
I missed the Golla incident ie his red card (3rd
2 -minute suspension). It looks like the officials are giving cheap suspensions
in the Germany match!
Germany in the money time extends their lead as both
teams are one player down but the Czech team remains focused despite a 3-goal
deficit 20-23 (53’30)
Sweden comprehensively beats Iceland with Palicka with
no saves in 5 minutes: 32-25
Despite their 2 suspensions the Czech team gets their
goal number 21 (54’30)
Kastening scores a beautiful goal on the wing and the
biggest lead so far for Germany 21-26 (56’25)
Even the public scoffs at the number of exclusions!
Even the Czech team is in no hurry to reduce the deficit.
Very strange.
Germany scored after the buzzer so Germany won by four
22-26
