Barça win fourth Super Globe trophy
A total of 15 saves by Danish goalkeeper Kevin Møller and a 9:1 series at the start of the second half were the key factors to Barça Lassa adding another trophy to their huge cabinet on Friday. In a repeat of last year, the team of head coach Xavi Pascual won the IHF Super Globe Final against Füchse Berlin, this time by a five-goal difference, 29:24 (13:12).
After the lead had changed several times in the first half, a 14:13 lead in minute 34 after a goal by Füchse’s best scorer, Jacob Holm (eight goals), was the last time that the German side would be ahead.
The defending champions kept the seven-goal difference until 28:21, and though Füchse slightly reduced the gap, the victory for the Super Globe record winners was never in danger.
Earlier Friday, Super Globe debutants Montpellier HB easily won the bronze medal match, 33:23 (14:9) against hosts Al-Sadd from Qatar. All photos courtesy of IHF TEXT: Björn Pazen / ew |
