Mr. Gonzalo! Vargas’s Sportsmanship Shines in Spain-Sweden Draw

Sweden and Spain ended their preliminary round match at the 2025 World Handball Championship in a draw. While Alex Dujshebaev scored the equalizer, the spotlight was on Gonzalo Pérez de Vargas, who demonstrated remarkable sportsmanship by preventing a red card for Hampus Wanne.

The Spanish goalkeeper explained to referees that Wanne’s penalty shot, which hit him in the head, had first deflected off his hand, leading to the red card being rescinded—a gesture worthy of admiration.
