Croatia put up a good fight, particularly in the first half, where they were able to resist the Danish team’s attacks. They employed a strong defense and utilized various tactics to protect their goal. However, the Danish team’s simple yet effective handball strategy ultimately paid off. Gidsel, along with teammates Jakobsen and Nielsen, played crucial roles in manufacturing a significant lead by the end of the first half, with the score being 16-20 in favor of Denmark.
The last day of Duvnjak
The final match marked the last day of Lamagoi Duvnjak’s career, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity for him to retire with a World Cup title. However, Denmark’s strong performance made it difficult for Croatia to achieve this goal. Duvnjak was injured in the first phase of the game and, despite his efforts, was unable to make a significant impact. His team, Croatia, put up a good fight but ultimately could not contain Denmark’s powerful offense.
The Danish team’s rhythm proved to be unbearable for Croatia, and their lead continued to grow throughout the game. By the end of the match, Denmark had won by six goals, celebrating their fourth consecutive World Cup title. This victory solidifies Denmark’s position as a dominant force in handball, and their performance will be remembered for years to come.
