Handball: Sweden wins dramatic European Championship final against Spain

It looks like Spain has bought a subscription to the European Championship final. The Iberians have qualified for the final for the fourth time in a row – they have won their last two matches. This time, Sweden is the contender they defeated in the preliminary round by 32:28. It’s more compact in the final. No exit can be envisaged until the last minute.

At the end of the sixty minutes, Sweden is awarded a seven-meter throw – with a score of 26:26! The latest drama reaches its climax. One question remains: Will Niklas Ekberg (33) keep his nerves with the European title? But something like that. The ball flies into the net and the Swedes hug each other. The Scandinavians defeated the more experienced Spaniards, with eleven players over the age of thirty.
