Gauchos ride over Slovaks, easy victory for Hungary
Group B:
Hungary – Brazil 36:24 (18:11)
Thanks to their second victory Hungary still have good chances to qualify for the Main Round – but Brazil only showed little resistance in this one-sided game. In the upcoming games against Japan and Austria they can book their ticket, as Brazil will have to make their way to the President’s Cup with still no point on their account. The match was quite close until minute 19 (9:7 for Hungary), then the Europeans increased the gap to seven goals at the break. And the run-down remained the same in the second half, as Hungary was clearly dominant. 1500 spectators saw the first ten goal gap in minute 45 and the score of 28:18. Top scorer was Gergely Harsanyi with ten goals.
Group D:
Slovakia – Argentina 18:23 (9:7)
Viva la Gauchos! Argentina remain the biggest surprise of this World Championship. After the draw against Korea now the Southern Americans take their first great victory. With three points on their account the gauchos are in good position for the Main Round- as the race seems to be highly tough for the Slovaks after three defeats. After Slovakia was leading most of the first 35 minutes closely the match turned. Five straight goals from 9:10 to 14:9 meant a small cushion for the Argentines, and the Slovaks couldn’t return anymore, as they missed too many chances. The Argentine defense stood like a wall – and the gauchos pre-decided the game in minute 56 when Andres Kogovsek scored the 22:16. Even a time-out three minutes earlier couldn’t save the defense and offense weak Slovaks from this defeat. Federico Fernadez was the top scorer for Argentina with nine goals, aside goalkeeper Mathias Schulz saved 17 shots to secure this sensation.
