It's a pity - Montenegro didn't play the last attack well, Đurđina Jauković tried to "buy a ticket" for Vienna from a difficult position with the tenth goal, but Sweden survived (25:24). 

21: 58h

Montenegro defended itself, Tatjana Brnović "threw herself" at the ball with 22 seconds left - the "lionesses" have an attack for a draw and a trip to Vienna.

21: 55h

Montenegro got a seven-pointer with a minute to go, and captain Raičević hit the crossbar and missed the opportunity to bring the "lionesses" a tie - a result that leads to Vienna.

21: 53h

Montenegro had an attack to take the lead, but Matea Pletikosić lost the new ball, after which Jamina Roberts scored from over nine meters for 25:24.

21: 51h

Sweden briefly regained the lead, but Đurđina Jauković scored again - her ninth goal from the 12th shot at 24:24, with five minutes remaining.

21: 48h

A new goal by the unreal Đurđina Jauković, Montenegro has a result that takes her to Vienna (23:23).

21: 44h

Đurđina Jauković is phenomenal.

Our left back scored his sixth goal from a passive attack, Marta Batinović intervened on the other side, and Tanja Ivanović fought hard for the ball, after which Đina brought Montenegro to 23:22 with a new missile.

Montenegro is in the game, but cannot take a crucial step towards a turnaround - primarily because Sweden has a great Johana Bundsen in goal.

21: 39h

Captain Milena Raičević, who was injured during the first match at the EHF Euro, scored from the penalty spot for 22:20.

21: 38h

Sweden is again on plus three - Klara Lerbi scored from the seven-point line (22:19).

21: 35h

Great reaction by Tatjana Brnović - first in defense, and then she managed to score from her half, the lionesses came to 20:19.

21: 33h

Montenegro was able to go as far as minus one, but Johana Bundsen first saved the goalkeeper Tatjana Brnović, and then our pivot hit the post from her own half into an empty goal.

21: 31h

The streak of the Swedes was stopped by the great Đurđina Jauković with two goals (19:17).

After the lead, there was a new period of poor play by our national team - there were also mistakes, there was no luck when Dijana Mugoša hit the crossbar, and Sweden took a 4:0 series lead at 18:15.

21: 21h

Montenegro has the first attack in the second half and uses it - the fourth goal by Itana Grbić, again in her style for the lead of the Lionesses (15:14). 

21: 05h

The first half is over - regardless of the large number of mistakes, the "lionesses" are completely in the game.

Đurđina Jauković tied the game at 30:30 with a bomb with 14 seconds left in the first 14 minutes. 

21: 03h

Again the period of glory of the game and with many mistakes, and Sweden uses everything and has plus two again (13:11). 

21: 00h

The return is complete - this time Itana Grbić assisted Dijana Mugoša, who equalized at 11:11.

The series of Montenegro after Suzana Lazović's time-out is 4:0.

That's why Montenegro "lives" on Itana Grbić's goals - her third by only minus one (11:10).

20: 58h

Matea Pletikosić didn't have her own night, she had several lost balls, and one even in a six-on-four attack.
