Olympic qualification: Marcel Schiller saves a point for Germany, Slovenia beats Algeria
The opening Tokyo Handball Qualification 2020 – Men’s Tournament 3 match between Germany and Sweden was exciting until the end. While Germany had the upper hand in the first half, the 2021 IHF Men’s World Championship silver-medallists turned the match around and looked like they were on the winner’s road until the hosts bounced back in the last minutes with left-wing Marcel Schiller scoring the equalizer with only seconds remaining – 25:25 (14:13).
