Handall U20 European Championship
Austro-youngsters defeat Norway 30:22
Austria's U20 handball players have caused another big surprise at the European Championships in Slovenia. After a victory against Norway, the red-white-red youngsters will play for fifth place on Sunday. Father of the victory against the Vikings: Fivers keeper Leon Bergmann.
In the duel with the clearly favored Norwegians, the team of ÖHB team manager Michael Draca was quickly 3:0 in front. A lead that they never relinquished and were able to celebrate a deserved 30:22 (14:10) victory in the end. The red-white-red youngsters, who also have two Vorarlberg players in their squad in Hard winger Lennio Sgonc and the neo-Würzburg player Marko Bogojevic, will now play for fifth place in Celje on Sunday against the winner of the Iceland-Sweden game.
Austria's match winner on Friday was Fivers goalkeeper Leon Bergmann. The 20-year-old native of Graz, who is 196 centimetres tall, proved to be an almost insurmountable obstacle for the Vikings. Twelve of the 27 shots fired at his goal were saved by Bergmann, which equates to a 44 percent success rate.
