We accompany the final game against Russia live in the ticker.
Germany – Russia 24:23
47 minutes: Ermakov does it like Golla on the other side with great strength on the circle. He literally attracts the balls and scores his fourth goal. In return, the new Schmidt is on the spot again and scores his second goal within a few minutes. There is now a change in goal for both teams: Kareev is back with the Russians, with Germany Bitter is now between the posts.
Germany – Russia 23:21
44 minutes: Lukas Sutztke and David Schmidt are new to the field after the break – and deliver straight away: Stutzke meets preparatory work from Schmidt from the back to take the lead. In return, Rebmann parried against Zhitnikov. And then Schmidt gets his turn, is served by Köster and again creates a two-goal lead.
Germany – Russia 21:21
43 minutes: Artem Grushko is now in goal for the Russians. Kireev seems to be struggling, spraying ice spray on his right ankle on the bench. Weber then discards the first attack on the new goalkeeper, but in return the Russians commit the offensive foul. Nevertheless: Gislason takes the break. Captain Golla shouts, “Keep calm!”
Germany – Russia 21:20
41 minutes: Golla receives his second time penalty – this time, however, she is entitled to be the captain and only circle runner in today’s squad of the DHB team. Patrick Wiencek had to leave before the game because of a corona infection. Outnumbered, Drux unnecessarily loses the ball, Kosorotov scores his sixth goal from his own half. This game moves in waves: Now Russia is again up for a goal against the German team. But: Germany has seven men on the plate again – Captain Golla is back!
Germany – Russia 20:17
38 minutes: After a foul on Weber, Reichmann scored his fourth goal from the seven-meter line. Germany now holds the three-goal lead.
Germany – Russia 18:15
35 minutes: Russia has the ball at 15:16 but is outnumbered. As a result, Petkovic takes the goalkeeper off the field. Rebmann wins the ball, Wiede hits the opponent’s goal from his own half. Shortly thereafter, Zieker is released on the left and scores his next goal. Germany has arrived in this second half and corrected the disaster start again.
Germany – Russia 16:15
32 minutes: Nikita Kamenev scored the first goal in the second half, overcoming the German block and Daniel Rebmann from the back. Because Rebmann first hits the post and Drux then carelessly loses the ball, Ermakov and Shishkarev reduce the lead to a 15:16 from a Russian perspective within two minutes. Bad start to the second half.
Germany – Russia 16:12
30 minutes: As in previous encounters, Germany received loud support from the numerous spectators who had traveled to Bratislava. Driven by this, the Germans win the ball again in defense and get their next goal. Again it is Captain Golla who leads the way by five goals in this first half. Germany goes into half-time with a four-goal lead. A terrific end to those first 30 minutes.
Germany – Russia 15:12
28 minutes: Another easy ball win for the German team. Zieker transforms the counterattack. Germany pulls back to three goals just before the break. In terms of physique, the German team seems to be in better shape. The Russians are too dependent on their star duo. Russia has now gone seven minutes without a goal. And again Germany is in possession of the ball.
Germany – Russia 14:12
27 minutes: Great throwing feint by Reichmann, with which he loads Kireev and puts Germany back in the lead. The Russians play with three right-handers in the backcourt. The German team benefits from this, in the counterattack Weber finds Golla. The captain scores his fourth goal. Velimir Petkovic’s team makes some technical mistakes.
Germany – Russia 12:12
25 minutes: As in all main round games, a close fight develops against Russia. Reichmann is forced to throw from a very acute angle because he has to slow down before jumping. As a result, Kireev saves the next ball. Both goalkeepers are good in the encounter. Bitter: Germany was leading 10:6 early in the game.
Germany – Russia 11:10
20 minutes: Wiede puts Germany back in the lead after the time-out. Then Golla gets a two-minute time penalty. A clear wrong decision. The captain no longer understands the world, and Oliver Roggisch also raises his arms questioningly. Golla had merely blocked the ball. Outnumbered, Kosorotov throws – but Rebmann makes an outstanding game and saves with his left foot.
Germany – Russia 10:10
19 minutes: Germany still without a goal since the Russian time-out. The Russian defense is better, Germany are currently lacking offensive ideas. Alfred Gislason is forced to take his first time out of the game. The national coach brings Paul Drux.
Germany – Russia 10:9
16 minutes: Mikhail Vinogradov converts a penalty kick against Rebmann and brings the Russians closer again. Germany still without a goal after the time-out. Sergej Kosorotov scores the third goal after the Russian time-out and the next German attack also comes to nothing. It’s getting tighter again.
Germany – Russia 10:6
14 minutes: The German defense is good, and Rebmann has already been able to defuse a few balls. Köster tanks up and scores his second goal on the third try. Velimir Petkovic takes the first time out of the game.

Germany – Russia 5:5
9 minutes: First Köster throws over the goal from the backcourt, then Fabian Wiede fails because of the Russian goalkeeper, Victor Kireev. Dmitry Zhitnikov scores in return and equalizes. 5:5!

Germany – Russia 3:2
3rd minute: Daniel Rebmann starts for the German team in goal. Johannes Bitter first sits on the bench. Germany started well, after two minutes Julian Köster and Tobias Reichmann have already scored once. Daniel Rebmann stops for the first time. Then left winger Patrick Zieker meets. Good start for the German team!
