The Spanish handball team is on the verge of elimination in the Olympic tournament Paris Gamesafter lose to the Netherlands their third match of the qualifying phase, 29-24. In addition, this Tuesday it was confirmed that Maitane Etxeberria will not continue in the Games due to a muscle tear.
The Navarrese team Lysa Tchaptchetwho scored one goal, kept up with the pace of the powerful orange team during the first quarter of an hour, but a 5-0 run in the first half and another at the start of the second half ended any chance.
The dream was nourished from the first moments, with four saves, one of them a penalty, and a goal-scoring 1-4 with a great start, which allowed them to cling on to the Olympic tournament. But the Netherlands raised their level, their defence adjusted and they accelerated in the counterattacks.
Mathematics still keeps them alive, which involves beating France, the Olympic champion, in the last match of the group, and counting the goal differences, a highly improbable hypothesis.
