Entered Final sister “Link” shadow and sent Norway a big step closer to the semifinals.
SPAIN – NORWAY 26-29 (16-16):
DEBRECEN (aftenposten.no): Spain and Norway met in what was a match where the winner would be much closer semifinals.
The Spaniards gave Norway more resistance than any team has done so far in the European Championships, but this time there was a new championship player who came forward and led Norway to victory.
Riegelhuth family has given Norway many big handball moments through Linn-Kristin. This time it was the little sister Betina who showed class.
Seven goals and Norway’s top scorer. Thus, she was Norway’s most important player, along with goalkeeper Silje Solberg who had a brilliant second half once again.
– It was great to get put the first shot, and then I put a couple more. It was great to be able to contribute a little, say a småbeskjeden Betina Rigel Huth TV 2 just after the match.
Depress start
The Norwegian team got a little tread start of the game. The Spaniards scored, while Norway suffered technical failures. Veronica Kristiansen showed guts and grit and scored Norway’s first two. Camilla Herrem scored on their first three attempts, but the Norwegian defense struggled to figure out Marta Mangue, Nerea Pena and Alexandrina Cabral.
Silje Solberg, who showed world in the second half against Denmark two days ago, struggled to get into the game. Her first rescue came only after almost eight and a half minutes. When the Spaniards led 5-3. In the first half, she had only four saves in 20 attempts.
When Herrem had inserted a few balls from the left, would not Linn-Kristin Riegelhuth Koren be any worse on the opposite side. Three times she found way past Silvia Lopez.
Little Sister stood up
The teams came together smoothly from 5-5 to 13-13, the only time Norway led was actually when Riegelhuth Koren bumped into 8-7 from the edge. The Spaniards looked to go from towards break, and led by two. As usual Carmen Martin Wanquan on free throws.
Then the little sister Riegelhuth responsibility. Betina bumped first into the ball back room twice, but the way she tied the game at 16-16 was spectacular. She got the ball at 15 meters with a few small seconds left on the clock. The only possibility was to knock on the first attempt. The shot was well enough to outwit Navarro and then Riegelhuth after a few seconds dared to believe that the target was approved, she released his celebration.
Solberg began to save
It is much easier to win baseball games if you have a goalkeeper who stops shots and Norway seem to have a goalkeeper who is masterful at doing it in another place. As in Denmark fight specific Silje Solberg decided to limit the opening hours in the shop considerably after the break.
Then you could Norway also slowly but surely obtain an tremålsledelse. Betina Riegelhuth continued where she left off before the break, and Ida Alstad decided to surpass her teammates when it comes shots. 19-17 she set from own half, albeit on empty cage.
– This was a very good handball match. We are playing against a very good team and struggling a bit backward in the first place. Then we did not quite get it, even though we are very close. We lacked a bit in defense and counter.
– In the second round it is very good. Then we go from. When traveling Silje together with defense, says a satisfied Thorir Hergeirsson TV 2.
He was naturally delighted with the efforts of Betina Rigel Huth.
– It was important to get her into in the game. She comes in and gets what she is good at. It is important for the continuation, said Norway Icelandic coach.
The Spaniards came back
With 26 to 22 and 12 minutes left it seemed that Norway could have control, but the Spaniards came back strongly and scored four times without Norway met in a single attempt.
So who came forward and hammered into 27-26? Betina Riegelhuth, of course.
Nora Dark stood only one goal, but under two minutes remained bumped her into a magnificent forearm shots, and could in typical style, dropping cheers loose.
She scored once before the game was over, and when the referee blew off could the Norwegian players gather in some madcap
