Sports Expert Tomi Salminen According to Helander’s performances, both matches played a crucial role in both matches.
– Helander has shown how valuable and good he is for this team. He has been the missing piece that this team is needed. His contribution in these two games has been so tough that it has turned these matches to Finland, Salminen said.
Finland has a good chance to advance to the 2026 European Championship Tournament. It can secure the race in May if it wins Montenegro at home with two goals. The favorite of the Finnish block is Hungary, who has won all three of his matches.
– An insanely tough victory. You may not be able to internalize how hard it is. It offers such opportunities from now on that it is possible to write Finnish handball history, expert Salminen said.
