In a tightly contested first half, both teams struggled to find their rhythm, with Denmark edging into the break ahead by a mere point, leading 13-12. It was clear that both sides were keen to assert themselves, but it was Denmark that emerged with greater momentum after the interval, steadily extending their lead through a series of impressive goals.
As the clock ticked down, Germany found themselves trailing by seven, a gap that proved insurmountable. Despite their efforts, the team could not mount a challenge in the closing moments, leaving Denmark to celebrate a well-deserved victory.
In the standings, both Denmark and Germany sit with six points each in the main round, a testament to their competitive performances thus far.
For Norway, the hopes of advancing to the next stage hinged somewhat precariously on a German victory over Denmark, along with help from other matches in their favor. Unfortunately for Norway, the desired outcomes did not unfold.
Looking ahead, Denmark will represent a formidable final challenge as Norway’s last opponent in this round.
