22:33 – France experienced a nightmare against Denmark (37-29)
Yet, everything had started well for Karabatic’s gang! At the end of a perfect first quarter of an hour, France, in full recitation, even had a lead of up to five goals. That was before Denmark woke up. Landin was impressive in goal! In defense, the Blues were never able to thwart the plans of Gidsel (11/12) and Pytlick (11/13) despite a good Descat (7/8), much too alone in the offensive base: Karabatic (3/6), Mem (5/8) and Prandi (2/7) did not weigh. Now, they will have to raise their heads against Norway!
22:32 – Ball losses multiply (36-29, 59th)
Everyone in the room is stunned! The Blues, Olympic title holders, are humiliated!
22:29 – The chalice to the dregs for France (33-27, 58th)
The winger shot the Danish goalkeeper in the head according to the referees. It seems harsh, but he gets two minutes.
22:28 – Gidsel continues to impress (33-27, 57th)
From start to finish, this little Dane gave the French team’s defense a headache.
22:27 – Karabatic doesn’t give up (32-27, 56th)
On the rebound, following a save by the opposing goalkeeper, the legend of the Blues scored his 1300th goal with the French team.
22:25 – Gille finally takes a time-out (32-26, 55th)
To be honest, given the Danish dynamic, we don’t really understand why the coach of the Blues didn’t take him earlier.
22:24 – Descat remains at his level (31-26, 54th)
He’s the only one who allows the Blues to score! He’s on seven goals!
22:22 – Berezina for the French team (31-25, 53rd)
The Danes score two goals in quick succession! Prandi is injured after being hit in the head… There’s nothing going right!
22:19 – WHAT A MIRACLE FROM GÉRARD! (29-25, 50th)
The French team goalkeeper saves a penalty from Hanssen! Now the attack must find some efficiency. The Blues only scored eight goals in the second half!
22:18 – Gérard keeps hope alive (29-25, 49th)
The French team’s goalkeeper, who has just returned to the field, makes a save! He harangues the crowd, and they continue to believe in it!
22:16 – Hanssen does it again (28-25, 49th)
It’s going to take a miracle for the Blues! The crowd is stunned by Denmark’s precision.
22:15 – Hassen never trembles (27-25, 47th)
The legend of Denmark is so strong at the seven-meter throw! The Danes are close to a big hit!
22:11 – Descat catches fire (25-24, 46th)
Denmark has Gidsel, France has Descat! Shifted to the left wing, the winger brings us almost level!
