From heartbreak to triumph, Switzerland’s qualification for their first Men’s EHF EURO main round since 2004 was as dramatic as it gets. A last-gasp draw against the Faroe Islands secured by the Nordic side in round 1, then a nine-goal lead versus Slovenia that turned into a defeat in round 2, before the stage culminated with Switzerland’s biggest Men’s EHF EURO win ever.

That clear victory put Switzerland in a position to progress, but they had to wait for the last game in group D, Slovenia versus Faroe Islands, to see their main round berth booked.
