The Israeli handball team tonight (Thursday) achieved a great victory over Luxembourg 27:35 in the return match, and secured its promotion to the second stage of the World Championship qualifiers against Slovakia, in a pair of games that will take place in March.
Saar Frankel's blue-and-whites arrived on the field needing a win by four goals to qualify for the next stage, following the loss in yesterday's first game (31:28), and despite the close game in the first half, Israel stepped on the gas in the second half to achieve the big victory.
The outstanding player of the game was Yonatan Dayan of the German motherland, who scored eight goals.

Even before the game, there was an incident during the national anthem, when the local fans decided to whistle insults and chants against Israel.
As soon as the anthem started, the national team players started screaming the anthem and the organizers also increased the volume of the music, so that they could no longer be heard on the broadcast.

As I remember, before the double meeting, the team was asked to come up for the warm-up with a shirt with a call for the return of the kidnapped, which did not suit the local organizers who refused.
The locals also refused to approve the Blue-Whites' request to wear during the anthem the captors' disc, which was approved by the European Union.
