NORWAY / AUSTRIA / SWEDEN EHF 2020 Day Three - First half ideas

SPAIN VS GERMANY and DENMARK VS ICELAND

Emily bought her ticket well in advance. I know who she is to support. May the best team win.

The commentator is so rubbish that he says Germany coming out first when it’s Spain.

5 supporters from Spain?

And the camera always on them

On the phone Denmark – Iceland

There is Montenegro – Serbia as well.

The commentator is clearly not a handball anorak and he uses those English disgraceful comments.

HE KEEPS mentioning age as if it made always a difference; someone must have told him but he continues.

First half

Gonzalo avoids conceding an early goal on two occasions.

It is handball, not football; what a ridiculous quote.

Interesting Spanish combination but solid German defense

Gonzalo saves off Wiencek with his left leg

Ariño scores the first goal with under 5 minutes played

Whilst Denmark edges 4-3 vs Iceland

DJU steals and makes it 3-1 to Spain on 6’30.

It is 6 a piece in the Scandinavian game

Funny ENTRERRIOS followed by Sole which means 6-1 for Spain on 9’30

Uwe reduces the deficit on 10 minutes

Spain are not using the width nor their wingers but the live screening got a bit funny to my disgust.

It is now 8-2 for Spain. Bitter replaces Wolff. 89% shot efficiency. Impressive.

Meanwhile Denmark leading 9 to 7 after 16 minutes

A cheap two minutes to Drux. Follows a great strike by Joan, raising the score-line to 9-3

Finally, a winger’s goal by Sole: 10-4 on 15 minutes

Two minutes for Hansen as Iceland trailing by one goal (10-9, 18’) and yet Iceland concedes.

Slowly Germany recovers as it reads 10-6 on 17 minutes.

Double suspension for Spain. Julen gets marching orders. Corrales comes in but does not avoid the goal. USING CRUCES APROVECHARLO.

It is 11-11 on 21 minutes on the Nordic encounter.

Not sure what the problem was and Pekeler reduces it to 10-8. Even 10-9 on 21 minutes.

Bitter cannot make the same save he did against Julen. Two-goal advantage with A DJU scoring half of Spain’s goals. Uwe missed the penalty but Germany gets the ball back.

Ariño scores a vital number 12 with 24 minutes played.

Bitter got the BETTER of A DJU unfortunately.

For a moment Iceland were leading 14-13. It is all square now.  Entrerrios athletically increases the scoreline now set as 13-9

Happy for the beautiful Icelandic ladies as Iceland in front 15-14

Icelandic player tried to cheat; it was spotted by the ref but it remains 15-15

Ariño foolishly or harshly concedes a penalty and two minutes.

Uwe with a smile. Great save by Gonzalo on the penalty from Uwe.

It is 14-11 to Spain and Cañellas almost got Bitter off-guard.
