Women’s EHF: Hungary beats Belarus
Change language:
Hungary are on course toward the Women’s EHF EURO 2018 in France after beginning their qualification campaign with two victories in two matches. After a commanding 37:12 win in Round 1 against qualification phase 2 debutants Kosovo, Hungary claimed a second clear victory away in Minsk on Sunday, eurohandball.com said.
The 2000 European champions remained focused on their tactics throughout the match, under the guidance of Danish coach Kim Rasmussen, who led Hungary to a final result of 25:18 in the Round 2 game against Belarus.
GROUP 7
Belarus vs Hungary 18:25 (8:12)
Though Hungarian handball girls finished with a clear victory, it took some time before they got the upper hand.
It was a low-scoring game due to excellent performances from the goalkeepers – Biro Blanko for Hungary, and Belarus’ Valiantsina Kumpel – and the less-than-perfect attack from both sides, which resulted in a high number of attacking errors and turnovers in the early minutes.
According to EHF’s official site, Belarus created an early lead, holding a 4:2 advantage when Hungary’s coach Rasmussen called his first time-out, during which it was clear his team’s defence was not working exactly as planned.
