Herning – There was no further surprise in the brotherly duel. On Thursday in Herning at the start of the European Championship in Denmark/Sweden/Norway, Austria’s handball men were able to make co-favorites Germany sweat until the finish, but ultimately had to admit defeat with 27:30 (8:12). This means that they are already under pressure in the fight for a place in the top two of Group A and promotion to the main round against Spain on Saturday (6 p.m.).
