Swiss turn on the style late to land gold

Switzerland won the Women’s 19 EHF Championship in Klaipeda, Lithuania on Sunday after overcoming Czech Republic in a game which was much tighter than the final score suggests.

After trading leads throughout the opening 45 minutes, the Swiss stepped up a gear at the right moment and pulled away from their opponents to win gold.

Having blasted their way though the opposition en route to the final, it was difficult to know which team would best deal with a pressure situation such as this final.

While Czech Republic appeared to be struggling in certain areas, Eliska Desortova was keeping them afloat by scoring seven goals in 20 minutes, while Joline Tschamper was leading a more evenly spread Swiss attack.

Switzerland held a four-goal lead at the beginning of the second half, but it did not last long as the Czechs quickly recovered, backed by Sabrina Novotna in goal, and were level at 19:19.

A short baron spell followed before Switzerland launched one final push. With seven different goalscorers in the final 15 minutes, the Swiss opened up a lead, which their opponents had no answer for, and secured the title.
