World Cup dream of the national handball team burst

class=”sc-3778e872-0 cKDKQr”>

From the dream of the first World Cup participation for the Swiss handball players. In the play-off second leg against the Czech Republic, they have no chance and lose 27:36.

As a result, they cannot use the good starting position from the first leg, which they lost almost 31:32 three days ago.

The Swiss did not enter the game in Brno from the start. In the 4th minute they are 0:3 behind, from there they are trailing quite a bit.

It’s already 10:17 at intermission. Flipping the game becomes a mammoth task. And the Swiss cannot solve them. In the second half they take more risks to attack without a keeper, but the Czechs take advantage of this with a few goals from distance. And may celebrate the World Cup ticket at the end.

Lack of offensive penetration

The Swiss for their part fail for the third time in a row in a World Cup jump-off. The reasons are easy to find. The team of national coach Martin Albertsen lacks the necessary strength in the attack. The best Swiss goalscorer is Kerstin Kündig with seven goals.

After 120 minutes, the Czech Republic rightly won one of the 32 tickets for the World Cup final at the end of the year (November 30 to December 17) in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. A small loophole remains open for Switzerland: in the summer, two participants are chosen by wildcard. (bir/sda)
