Everything is still possible for the DHB team.

30 minutes: Break in Bratislava!

Germany is behind against Sweden, but not hopeless.

30 minutes: Germany can make the connection just before the break siren.

Nice allusion to Wiede, who balances the ball in the circle.

There was will behind it.

The game against the World Cup runners-up is completely open.

Sweden scores again, Wiencek fails with the break siren on the magnificent parrying Palicka.

28 minutes: The German defense has good access.

Eleven goals conceded after 28 minutes are absolutely fine.

And: Rebmann succeeds in his first save against the Scandinavians.

26 minutes: Göppingen's Rebmann is now between the posts.

A clear foul against Golla in front of the Swedish goal is not counted.

That should have given seven meters.

24 minutes: Loss of possession during build-up play.

A long ball does not reach Zerbe on the counterattack.

On the other side, Johansson nets from the backcourt.

The answer from Germany comes immediately: Köster hammers the ball in.

The 21-year-old is playing a really strong European Championship.

In this condition, he shouldn't play in the second division for much longer.

23 minutes: Bitter catches the next goal.

Gislason brings the Berlin Drux for the middle backcourt.

21 minutes: Wanne safely puts in the seven-meter penalty against Bitter.

The Flensburg man is considered one of the best in his field from seven meters.

There was nothing to stop there.

17 minutes: Weber!

Get out of the corona quarantine, into the goal.

The second division player hits with a jump shot and touchdown.

6:7 - Germany is back to Sweden.

13 minutes: Reichmann fails from seven meters.

Germany has problems in attack.

And Sweden is good at withdrawing.

The 6-0 defense works, but not against Zerbe, who keeps the game open.

12 minutes: Lagergren swings the ball into the goal.

The Swedes dominate and are extremely efficient.

10 minutes: The DHB team has trouble – but can shorten.

Köster climbs up the circle and lures out cover.

The pass for Golla comes at the circle at exactly the right moment.

4: 6 from Germany's point of view.

Again: Only with a seg today is the EM semi-final still possible.

6th Minute: Reichmann makes the seven-meter pure for Germany.

Cunning topper.

The outside player was the best pitcher in the DHB team when they won the European Championship in 2016.

6 minutes: Sweden scores two goals with powerful throws from the back.

On the other hand, keeper Palicka parried an attempt by the DHB team.

Flensburg's Wanne also makes a seven-meter throw for the Scandinavians.

4 minutes: Köster equalizes.

The 21-year-old from Gummersbach is Germany's discovery in this tournament.

2 minutes: Goals on both sides.

The attack always comes into play well.

1st minute: It starts in Bratislava with the European Championship game!

Germany - Sweden in the live ticker: Last chance for the semi-finals at the handball championship

There is still a minimal chance of reaching the European Championship semi-finals.

For this, the German national handball team would have to win against Sweden tonight (6 p.m.) and against Russia on Tuesday evening (8.30 p.m., here in the live ticker).

In addition, Spain would need the support against Norway today.

Much subjunctive.

Too much of?

In any case, the World Cup runner-up is a strong opponent.

In the main round, the Scandinavians have already won twice, including a clear 28:18 (14:6) against Poland.

"We never said the semifinals were our goal," national coach Alfred Gislason clarified on ZDF after the defeat against the Norwegians.

Does his team still have a chance of reaching the semifinals today?
