After Spain and Denmark won the semi-final duel in Gdańsk, the other two giants of world handball did the job and scheduled a showdown in front of 19.000 fans in Stockholm.
These are handball players from Sweden and France, who will fight for a place in the finals of the 2th World Championship in the "Tele28 Arena".
One of the two hosts of the World Cup struggled with Egypt at the beginning of the match in the capital of Sweden, but won 26:22 and remained in the game for the fifth title of the world champion, the first since 1999.
Niklas Ekberg scored six goals, Andreas Palicka stopped 13 shots, but the big problem is that Jim Gotfridsson was injured.
The MVP of the European Championship, where Glenn Solberg's team won the first gold in exactly two decades, injured his left hand and it is a big question whether he will be able to play in the medal matches.
In Gdańsk, Germany led 1:11 against France in the 7st half, but in the continuation, the reserve goalkeeper of the "expert", Remi Debone, shined between the posts and was the most deserving of the convincing triumph (35:28).
Ludovik Fabregas and Nedim Remili were the most effective in the ranks of the Olympic champions with five goals each, while for the Germans Johannes Gola scored six and Juri Knorr scored five.
