Goal for Sweden, 14:19 by Felix Claar
Again the Swedes succeed in stealing! Claar has a lot of space and marches towards the gate alone. Claar can increase the lead to five goals!

The Russians still seem a bit uninspired in the second half, so that Palicka can parry the throw from the backcourt. However, on the other side Sandell misses a throwing opportunity for the second time.

Mid-term conclusion:
At the break, Sweden leads 16:13 against Russia. The game of the main round group 2 is very balanced over long stretches. Both teams have their good phases, but also make a few mistakes. However, the Swedes make a slightly better impression, for whom the positional attack seems to be easier. With a strong phase just before half-time, the Scandinavians were able to build up a small lead, which gives them the lead after 30 minutes.

Very good phase now for Sweden! Pettersson prevails in the 2nd wave against the middle block and hits from the circle. This gives him a four-goal lead for the first time.

Goal for Sweden, 12:14 by Felix Claar
Palicka saves from behind, Claar scores in front! The Swedes are now leading again with two goals. The Scandinavians will not care that Claar was lucky with his deflected degree.

Goal for Sweden, 12:13 by Hampus Wanne
Wanne shows, as usual, a great rate in the seven meters. His fourth attempt is also successful. Changing the goalkeeper doesn’t help the Russians either.
22
15:59
There’s the Swedes’ time-out, preparing for the final minutes of the first half. The game is balanced not only in terms of the result. Both teams have their good phases, but also allow themselves to lose the ball or miss throws from time to time.

A very important steal now from the point of view of the Swedes, who exploit an insecurity of the Russians and drive the counterattack. Chrintz grabs the ball and finishes safely!

The Russians fire out the entire playful repertoire here. The ball is played to the outside, but then from the scheduled jump shot again into the middle for the next Kempa. Zhitnikov arrives in time and sinks the ball to score.

Here we go! The Russians start the game in white jerseys, Sweden act in dark blue.

The Swedes, on the other hand, had their problems in the preliminary round. The Scandinavians lost against Spain and only drew against the Czech Republic. Nevertheless, Sweden is in the main round, but without taking a point. Accordingly, the northern Europeans must definitely improve!
14:53
The Russians go into the main round with two points. They owe this circumstance to a narrow victory against Norway. Against the co-favourites, Russia showed a strong performance, especially in defence. Now, of course, they want to take the momentum with them and draw attention to themselves in the main round.

Hello and welcome to the main round of the European Handball Championship 2022! In Group 2, Russia and Sweden meet at the start! At 3:30 p.m. it starts in Bratislava!
