Denmark Handball: EC Gold & Home Win | [Year]

Watch the final seconds as Denmark begin to celebrate the victory in the video above.

The big giants on the handball scene clashed in the EC final in Herning, Denmark.

The setting and the soundscape, which was dominated by Danes, was powerful and also seemed to rub off on the match, which from the start was intense and full of goals in both directions.

However, Denmark was much sharper and went into the halftime break with an 18-16 lead.

Took first EC gold in 14 years

The second half initially remained even, with Germany keeping pace with the reigning Olympic champions.

But the longer the half went on, the more Denmark increased the pressure and extended their lead with several balls in the final stages of the game.

Germany didn’t make it easy for themselves either when, with three minutes remaining, they picked up their second red card of the evening.

The uphill battle was too great for the Germans, who played their first European Championship final since 2016.

Instead, Denmark was able to take its first European Championship gold since 2012 in front of the home crowd, which completely exploded in a huge victory cheer.

– The atmosphere in here is completely crazy, and I’m glad that I’m not playing as an opponent here, says Simon Pytlick in Viaplay’s broadcast after the match.
