Switzerland earned their first win in the EHF EURO 2022 qualifiers on Thursday night, defeating Finland in a decisive manner, 32:19. Based on goal difference, Switzerland were already third in group 7, although they were on zero points alongside Finland. The two points from the win therefore cement Switzerland’s place in third behind North Macedonia and Denmark, who will meet later on Thursday night. GROUP 7
Switzerland restore hope with first points With three matches remaining after Thursday’s action, a lot can happen in the standings so the race is not over for Finland, but Switzerland are now in a more promising position to challenge for the top-two rank. For the 2020 edition, Switzerland ended a 14-year wait to contest the EHF EURO again and in January they returned to the World Championship after last playing in 1995. Will they continue their run of major championship participations? TEXT: EHF / Courtney Gahan |
