Collapse after the break - that's how the Hungarian "Nemzeti Sport" described the match of the country's handball players with Montenegro in the only derby of Group B at the World Cup.
With a spectacular game in the second half, our national team "broke" Hungary (24:18) and went to Gothenburg and the main round with a maximum of four points.
"Although the bookies gave Hungary better odds (odds 1,35, and Montenegro four), it was clear even before the match that there would be a big fight in Helsingborg", he adds.Nemzetisport".
Media from Hungary are also reporting the statement of right back Nikolet Pap, who pointed out that goalkeeper Marta Batinović "got into the head" of the Hungarians last night in "Helsinborg Arena".
Portal "index.hu" reminds that Montenegro came to Scandinavia without three important players from the previous period, Jovanka Radičević, Milena Raičević and Đurđina Jauković.
"Despite the three-goal advantage after the first half, Hungary was defeated by Montenegro," adds "Index".
"Nemzetisport" also recalled details from the Montenegrin bench at the end of the match...
"Montenegro coach Bojana Popović celebrated each of their goals in the last minutes with a spectacular dance next to the bench, and she also had reason to be happy - with a 24:18 victory, her team gained a huge advantage over Hungary".
