Innsbruck – Austria’s women’s handball team lost an international test match against Germany 26:28 (9:13) in the Innsbruck Olympic Hall on Sunday. ÖHB team boss Monique Tijsterman was largely satisfied with the last test gallop before the start of the home European Championships scheduled for Thursday at the same location, especially with the morale of her team. After a sleepy start, the team caught up after the break and took the lead for a while.
