29.04.2021, 04:30 GROUP 1 REVIEW: Toni Gerona’s side finished the qualification unbeaten, while Greece were eliminated from the race for Hungary and Slovakia |
||
After their 31:40 home defeat on Tuesday against France, Greece needed a victory against already qualified team of Serbia to keep their hopes for their first ever EHF EURO participation alive. But Greece could not obtain the result needed in Thursday’s opener: After losing 25:27 on home ground, they are out for the race for the two top spots in group 1. The hope of finishing among the best four third-ranked teams appears limited, as Greece will play the last match in France. GROUP 1
Thanks to the Serbian victory in Greece, France are confirmed participants of the EHF EURO 2022 in Slovakia and Hungary ahead of their last match. Since 1994, the three-time EHF EURO champions (2006, 2010, 2014) did not miss any final EHF EURO tournament. The team of head coach Guillaume Gille will finish second in group 1 below top side Serbia. Serbia took three points against France in January and had already qualified for their seventh EHF EURO since 2010 prior to Thursday’s clash. TEXT: EHF / Björn Pazen |
