Another sensation at the handball Euro - after France, even Denmark, the Olympic and world champion, did not enter the second stage.
The Danes were eliminated even before the last game in group E, against Russia, because Hungary beat Iceland, with a score of 24:18.
The Hungarians won five points, the Icelanders remained on four, and Denmark has one point from two matches.
Hungary won for a place in the top 12 with a furious game in the second half. She lost five points in the first half, but then turned it around with an 11:3 series and gained an unattainable four-goal advantage - 21:17...
Roland Mikler had 14 saves in the Hungarian goal, and Bence Banhidi scored eight goals.
Aron Palmarson and Valur Sigurðsson each scored four goals in the Iceland team.
