Amazing stuff from her Men’s national team in the handball!
Our representative group prevailed 31-27 welcoming her Netherlands in Kozani in the first match barrage for World Championship of 2025 and now he is called upon to complete the “feat” in his rematch Eindhoven next Sunday (12/5, 17:00).
Undoubtedly a great victory for the National Team. After all, even a… simple victory would be considered an overachievement against the powerful “Oranie”. How much more, now, that important four-goal lead he is called upon to defend.
Of course, even more important will be the eventual qualification to the final phase of the World Championshipas it will be the 2nd in its history and first after 2005 (when he won 6th place in Tunisia).
Terrible atmosphere in the packed DAK Lefkovrysi Kozani, with the crowd pushing the players of Giorgos Zaravinas.
It is reminded that the final phase of the World Cup will be held from January 14 until February 2 of 2025 in Croatia, Denmark and Norway. It should also be noted that the national team had also defeated the Netherlands on their way to qualifying for Euro 2024.
On the competitive side now, the first half was pretty close. The visitors had a better pace, with the hosts however not allowing them to… get away. Mainly, a two-goal difference was maintained in favor of the “Oranie”, which opened up to three goals (5-8 and 9-12). Nevertheless, towards the end, the National Team – who played with spirit from the beginning – stepped on… the gas, turned it around and went to the break before 13-12.
In the second half, our representative group slowly began to extend their lead. He controlled the tempo, he played with focus and with the crowd’s push he reached the goal +5 (31-26)! Ultimately, the Dutch were reduced to the final 31-27with everything now in the hands of the Greek internationals!
