The Spanish women's handball team bids farewell to the World Championship
The World Championship dream of the Spanish national team in women's handball ends in the Main Round. This Saturday, the team could not overcome a solid Germany and fell 25-29, a result that, combined with Montenegro's victory, sealed their elimination. 🏐
Germany imposes its pace and secures the pass
The match was characterized by great intensity, but the German team knew how to control the decisive moments. They built a lead on the scoreboard that Spain could not reverse in the final stage, despite their efforts. The lack of effectiveness in attack was decisive in not being able to turn the result around.
Key moments of the match:- Germany handled the critical periods of the match better.
- Spain did not find the necessary precision to close the gap.
- The defeat takes the team away from the fight for medals in this championship.
The numbers on the scoreboard are eloquent and leave no doubt about the development of the match.
Montenegro's victory defines the group
Meanwhile, Montenegro's resounding victory over Serbia by 33-17 was key to the classification. This result positioned the Montenegrin team favorably and, most importantly, mathematically eliminated Spain from the option to advance to the next phase, regardless of their own result.
Consequences in the standings:- Montenegro secures its spot in the World Championship quarterfinals.
- The combination of results did not benefit the Spanish team at all.
- The possibility of continuing to compete for the title vanishes.
Balance of the participation
Thus, the Spanish national team concludes its path in this World Championship. The players leave with the feeling that the opportunities did not materialize on the scoreboard. The tournament demonstrates, once again, the high level and demands of the women's handball world competition. 👋
