Drama Against Hungary: German U20 Handball Team Throws Away Semi-Final
The German U20 handball team was eliminated from the European Championship in Romania, losing 25-27 to Hungary in the quarter-finals. The match in Turda was a physical, defensive battle. Germany led 7-6 after 15 minutes but suffered a scoring drought late in the first half, trailing 13-15 at halftime. A 14-19 deficit early in the second half seemed decisive, but Julien Sprößig equalized at 19-19 in the 43rd minute. However, Hungary handled the crucial details better down the stretch, ending Germany's hopes. The German team, largely composed of players who won the U19 World Championship in 2025, will now compete for places 5-8. In other quarter-finals, Denmark beat Switzerland, Sweden crushed France, and Slovenia eliminated Spain. The semi-finals will feature Sweden vs. Denmark and Hungary vs. Slovenia.
