Day XII Spain 2021 Austrian surprise, imperious Denmark

Argentina were giving it a good go against Japan within the first 26 minutes but by the interval losing by one and losing even further ground in the second half (27-31)

Austria were leading 15-10 at the break, 19-12 after 39’

Goals are flying by 21-15 43’30

Kapitanovic saved easily from a 7-meter throw

Substitute Austrian keeper does the same twice in a row.

On-fire keeper Ivancok keeps Croatia at bay 24-18 53’

Sadly double suspension including that of Kovacs

Jezic makes the most of it reducing the scoreline to 24-20 54’

Neidhart gets a red card

Very important save by the Austrian keeper on a 7-meter conceded by her sister as it prevents Croatia from being 24-22 with just four minutes left

Instead, it reads 25-21 57’

I am happy for Austria. I warmed to them during the heartbreaking defeat to Japan

Beautiful safety first number 26

8 seconds left and Austria winning 27-22

It ended 27-23 and the Croatia manager is very angry.
