Handball European Championship: Germany vs. Switzerland now in the live ticker – the second half
57. First “oh how beautiful that is” and now the wave goes through the arena. The DHB selection really wanted to ignite euphoria straight away – and that completely succeeded.
53. “Oh how beautiful that is,” it echoes through the stadium in Düsseldorf with seven minutes to go. It is an absolute dream start for the DHB team, which was not to be expected. A big compliment!
52. The Swiss are now really wild and can thank goalkeeper Portner (11 saves) that they are “only” 12 goals behind. Gislason now even brings Späth for Wolff – the young man should of course enjoy the atmosphere in Düsseldorf on the record and find his way into the European Championships.
47. Now Philipp Weber can also get on the top scorer list. The German team is now on a 5-0 run. 20:10!
44. Switzerland is now in danger of completely falling apart. After another mistake by the Swiss, Kohlbacher finished ice-cold after a fast counter-attack. A little later, Knorr finishes from a good position, but is denied by keeper Portner. Nevertheless: It’s 7:10 p.m., so nothing can burn anymore.
41. A physical illusion, a precise finish – Häfner makes it 17:10. Switzerland coach Suter only knows how to help himself with a time out. Meanwhile, when it comes to DHB selection, the withdrawal behavior is also strong.
39. Despite all the justified adulation for the DHB team, we also have to criticize the Swiss. That’s very poor in attack from the Swiss, who act unimaginatively and extremely error-prone. Schmid in particular has been almost completely taken out of the game by the Germans so far.
36. Golla hits a little too hard and has to leave the plate for two minutes. The Swiss, in the majority, managed to get a free shot, but Wolff defused it with his tenth save. At the front, Kohlbacher is cleared in the circle – 15:9. This means that the DHB team wins its minority 1-0. Strong!
33. Wow, Köster goes to the goal with fire and gets a good drink from the Swiss. Correctly there are seven meters again and Knorr makes short work again.
31. Go on. The second half begins with possession of the ball for Switzerland.

Half-time conclusion: It’s been a very, very good performance by the German team so far. Let’s not kid ourselves: if anyone had offered national coach Alfred Gislason and his men a five-goal lead at half-time, everyone would have signed immediately. The strongest German players so far are Wolff (8 saves, 53.3 percent blocked balls), Köster (three goals and excellent defense) and Knorr (best German thrower with five goals).
Half time: The first 30 minutes in Düsseldorf are over. Germany leads 13:8 against Switzerland.
