GOG leave Granollers in their wakeWhile Fraikin Granollers are still on zero points after two rounds of the EHF Cup group phase, GOG are ready for the top-of-the-table clashes against THW Kiel. The Danish side comfortably took their second win and sits level with the hosts of the EHF Cup Finals 2019.
GROUP D GOG (DEN) vs BM Fraikin Granollers (ESP) 34:26 (17:13) After their 22:33 loss against Kiel at home in their opener, Granollers were extremely motivated to take their first points - and before the score stood at 9:9 they had either been ahead or at least equal in Gudme.
Then GOG struck back, improving their defence and raising their efficiency in attack. Even though Emil Jakobsen even missed two penalty shots in this period, GOG extended the gap quite easily to a four-goal margin at the break. Jon Lindencrone Andersen in particular was on fire in the first half, scoring five of his eight total goals before the break. Within ten minutes of the restart, the hosts decided what was quickly becoming a one-sided match with a 7:2 run for 24:15. Even being down two players at the same time did not turn the match around, as Granollers missed too many chances to be able to reduce the gap significantly. GOG’s biggest advantage was nine goals. Granollers now have to win both upcoming encounters against Azoty-Pulawy (also on zero points currently) to remain in the quarter-final race.
After the match, GOG coach Nicolej Krickau gave his team plenty of praise, "We are very satisfied with the game today. Our attack was very good against a spanish team with a lot of experience. I'm very happy with how especially the back players played today.
