The first step towards Paris from the tournament in Ulm was made by the host... Germany's handball players defeated Slovenia (31:25) at the start of the qualification for the Olympic Games.
All this means that the Slovenian women, led from the bench by our legendary coach Dragan Adžić, will play the decisive match against Montenegro on Sunday to go to the Games. Of course, provided they beat Paraguay first.
Adžić's girls fought throughout the entire match, trying to get a connection, but Markus Gaugiš's team practically controlled the events on the field for the entire 60 minutes.
The Germans mostly kept the difference to three or four goals, and in the end they went to the final plus six.
Adžić and his players today had no solution for Julija Majdhof, the right back of Ramnka Vlčea, who shook the Slovenian net nine times.
Along with her, the best in the German selection were Ksenija Smits with six, as well as Alina Grijsels and Joana Marija Stockslader with four goals each.
On the other side, almost half of the goals (11) for Slovenia were scored by Ana Gros, while Nataša Ljepoja hit the home team's net five times.
