The women's handball team of Montenegro suffered a second convincing defeat at the Golden League tournament in Denmark.
After being defeated by France two days ago (29:13), the "lionesses" lost to the host today - 36:23 (20:11).
Montenegro had a connection only in the first ten minutes (5:4 for the host), but in the next six minutes only Jauković shook the opponent's net, so in the 15th minute it was 10:5.
Coach Per Johanson took a second time-out in the middle of the half, but did not break the rhythm of the Danes, who scored from all positions in the attack, with a 6:0 series, leading by ten goals (18:8) in the 25th minute.
Denmark opened the second half with three tied goals for the lead (23:11) in the 33rd minute. The home team had the same advantage in the 35th minute, after Tranborg scored for 24:12.
The Lionesses reduced the score to 25:17 in the 42nd minute, but that was all - the home team responded with four tied goals for a plus 12 (29:17) in the 46th minute.
In the first match of the second day of the tournament, Norway defeated France (29:28) and recorded its second victory, after celebrating against Denmark at the start.
Montenegro ends the tournament tomorrow with a match against Norway, which will be played at 15 p.m.
