After the 30:34 in Bregenz, Austria’s selection Favorit Iceland had to admit defeat on Saturday with 26:34 (15:19). ÖHB team boss Ales Pajovic took positive things with him with a view to the European Championship qualification (against Ukraine, Romania, Faroe Islands) starting in October. “The lads did well against Estonia and against Iceland we were only a goal behind with ten minutes left,” said the Slovenian. Coming to Iceland with a minus four was a difficult starting position. We kept up in the first 20 minutes, but after that we lost a bit of strength because we didn’t have the breadth in the team. But that’s exactly what we’re working on. There were again a lot of young players who got their chance.”
The women’s selection, which is second in the European Championship qualifying group, will decide whether to take part in the finals in November in tomorrow’s home game against Denmark and on Sunday in Romania.
