Although HovGAARD-HANSEN Albert of Nücübing scored the first goal in the fourth minute of the first half, this was the only time Nücübing took the lead. Kyori Audi, considered the favorite, did not score for about five minutes after the start of the match, but quickly increased her offense after the first goal.
Doctrine Audi launched attacks around STANKO Tjasa and Emile Hovden. With the performance of the two players, they scored seven consecutive points, and in the 16th minute of the first half, they widened the gap to 10-2 to completely take the lead in the game.
Nouköbing then stabilized the attack and reduced further runs, but failed to break the balance of offense and defense for Kyory Audi. Kyodo Audi blocked the opponent’s attack in defense and connected the score with a quick conversion to finish the first half with an 18-10 lead.
In the second half, Kyodo Audi’s dominance continued. In particular, Hovden led the attack by continuing an accurate finish on the right wing, and Kyodo Audi widened the gap to secure the victory.
Hovden scored 11 goals out of 13 shots on the day, the most by both teams. Clara Lerby scored eight goals on nine shots to lead the attack in Nouköbing, but it was not enough to lead the team’s pursuit to victory.
Kyodo Audi also effectively carried out preparations for the opponent’s seven-man attack. As the scene of blocking the opponent’s attack from the defense and then connecting it to a fast attack continued, it was difficult for Nuukbing to change the flow even in the second half.
“We got a lot of balls from the wing, and the driving force was our great defense,” Hovden said in an interview with the European Handball Federation. “We thoroughly prepared for the opponent’s seven-man attack, and we were able to induce the opponent’s mistake and lead to a quick score.”
“We knew it was going to be a difficult game with only 11 players,” Nüköving coach Niels Agesen said. “We did everything we could and played well. I’m learning a lot from these games,” he said.
