Derby of the Group B between Spain and Slovenia 36:26 (18:10) passed in complete domination of Jordi Ribera team, extra-motivated to take revenge on the rivals, who destroyed their Olympic dreams for Rio! Only 3:0 at the start was a good reaction of Slovenian team in the last match in Metz. Everything else was according Spanish plans, who won the Preliminary Round and got Brazil for the rival at eight-final on Saturday.
Balaguer netted seven goals for the winners, one more than Marguc on the other side.
Slovenia will face Russia in battle for quarter-final.
