Wolff and bitter outrage: DHB team beats Norway
After three Olympic performances, the German team was only on two points - and therefore against Norway under pressure. Special attention was paid to Sander Sagosen. "He's one of the world's best handball players, if not the best," Steffen Weinhold warned, club colleague of the Norwegian at THW Kiel, before the 25-year-old. With seven Bundesliga professionals, the Scandinavians - and with the first goal: Magdeburg's playmaker Christian O'Sullivan served in the second wave in the right-wave Kristian Björnsen, who will leave Wetzlar in the summer after five years of Aalborg.
Wolff unnerved not only sagoses
It was a competitive, playful little glamorous start to the game, which after six minutes just had two goals to offer - Uwe Gensheimer pleased from the seven metrash. After just under seven minutes, Germany went through a transformed counterattack of Timo Kastening, also because Andreas Wolff in the German gate right really well pure. In contrast to Sagosen, which seemed to Wolff, sometimes on the aluminum failed and not yet set the desired accents.
In excess, Marcel Schiller then set the first two-goal guide (5: 3, 12.). Because Genssheimer shortly thereafter turned his third seven meters and Wolff gradually wit out in the German gate, Norway has quickly exposed to a significant residue. At the booth of 3: 8 took Norway's national coach Christian Mounten, between 1999 and 2006 seven years as a player in Flensburg active, with a petrified expression his first break (18th) - Wolff already had an outstanding, 67-percent fishing rate.
Gensheim a bank from the bank
The DHB team led to the break, also because Sagosen found a little better into the game, "only" with 14:11. Especially a merit of the goalkeeper: Johannes Bitter arrived shortly before the change a seven meter of Sagosen, Wolff a last violence of the Norwegian superstar.
At the beginning of the second portion, the Norwegians caught the better start and gradually fought. But the DHB team kept - supported by the further bear strong Wolff - the nerves. Genssheimer was also a bench of the bank, only for the seven meters had switched its 100 percent quota.
Bitter needs no start-up time
When even Kai Häfner met by the unfamiliar right-in-home position and, Bitter parished his second seven meter, the German crew supposedly already turned on the winning road (21:16, 44.). But the Scandinavians remained on it and used the errors that are now causing the DHB selection - quickly the connection was restored (21:22, 49.). Gislason broke the river of the Norwegians with a break and also the change of Wolff on bitter should pay off quickly. The early Hamburg final man took a number of free balls away. In the end, there was a deserved 28: 23 success for the German team.
Finally, Brazil is waiting for Brazil
Through the second victory in the tournament course, the quarterfinals for the German handballers is getting closer - and also the so important third place in Group A, through which the DHB team in the round of the last eight World Champion Denmark would go out of the way. To secure this, it takes a further success in the final group match against Brazil on Sunday (12.30 pm. Mesz, Live! At German team).
