Sweden take third trophy after overtime thriller

FINAL REVIEW: Neighbour’s duel against Denmark decided after overtime, M18 EHF EURO MVP Nikola Roganovic top scorer of the final

After 70 intense and thrilling minutes, Sweden raised the trophy on the winners’ podium of the Men's 18 EHF EURO in Podgorica, Montenegro. For the third time after 1997 and 2018, a Swedish team took the title in this age category. Two years ago, also in Podgorica, Sweden had lost the final against Spain. This year, tournament MVP Nikola Roganovic and his team struck back, but it was a tough battle until their neighbours Denmark had been beaten 37:36 after overtime. Due to this close defeat, the Danes still wait for a title in this age category as they finished second for the fourth time after 2001, 2006 and 2008.
