Our team said goodbye to victory from the World Cup: Hungary-South Korea 35-28
Everything is good if the ending is good? This is difficult to decide because the team did not meet its goal of reaching the quarterfinals. However, in the most difficult branch, he won four of the six matches. But we knew at the time of the draw that one of Germany and Denmark would have to be defeated to reach the goal. There was no chance against Denmark, he lost one goal to the team in the match against Germany. The farewell, on the other hand, was beautiful, making the Hungarian national team the top 12.
At the last World Cup in 2019, we finished 14th in the national team. In 2017 in the 15th, in 2015 in the 11th position, the team closed while
last time it was among the top eight in 2013.
At that time, the fights between the 16 were in a straight-line system, and Hungary, which won 28-21 in the eighth final, has since become very strong against Spain. Then, in the quarterfinals, he won the then world title from Brazil with two goals. He officially finished in 8th place. Now, with today’s win, he’s just a little behind.
Because
the Hungarian national team defeated South Korea 35-28 after the 18-15 halftime.
It was the case that the Hungarian and South Korean women’s handball teams fought each other on Golden Sunday. Perhaps many people remember the 1995 match in Vienna, where the fate of the gold medal was decided at the World Cup. Perhaps some of the readers of these lines there were also in Austrian cities. What a positive madness it was at that meeting!
He met the two teams now on Silver Sunday and for a much smaller stake. The group decided on each other in third place, but after the top 24, it was not 16 but only 8 national teams that could continue, so it couldn’t be taken seriously.
The match started with a Hungarian goal: Háfra Noémi gained an advantage from the burglary. As it turned out, the Hungarian national team won all the way. After 0-0 he only had a tie at 6-6, after which our team started from his opponent. In the 20th minute, he led by three goals: 13-10. The difference was also during the break: 18-15
The team did great in the second half and started to gain more and more advantage.
Viktória Lukács hit from the wind: 21-16 in the 34th minute.
With Kácsor’s shot: 22-16.
Márton Gréta increased the difference to seven goals from the wind: 24-17.
From the standings, Réka Bordás made the advantage from the sixth line to eight and then nine goals: 27-18. In other words, the Hungarian players from all places were successful, and by that time they had already presented a game of joy!
Ten minutes before the end, the difference was ten goals for the first time!
Kovács with Anett’s goal: 31-21. The girls in their hair no longer “wanted to die” for even more goals, but they still scored more in a week than the Asians.
Everything is good if the ending is good?
Federal Captain Golovin Vladimir told M4 Sport after the blowout:
Today’s match was difficult to start, but Háfra Noemi held us in the first half. We knew we could get tired if we drove with a bigger difference. It is impossible to win without self-confidence and emotion, there was no problem with any of them today.
However, the goal of getting into the top eight was not achieved, so the World Cup failed!
Dropped out of the originally imagined frame, dropped out of the triple defender, but you don’t have to deal with the missing ones! Those who were here had to be met with them.
