8 April 2023 at 18:22 New Norway victory against Montenegro – achieved the goal of a behind goal The Norwegian handball girls won their second match against Montenegro in this national team meeting. The duel in Volda ended with a 27-23 victory. A maximum of 23 late goals was the goal for Thorir Hergeirsson and the Norwegian team. The national team manager called a timeout with 49 seconds remaining at 27-23 and made it clear. The Norwegian team held on and could celebrate their tenth victory against Montenegro in the last twelve games. – There should perhaps have been a little more significance and a little more at stake. We will take more chances. We burn a bit too much in the second half, said Hergeirsson to TV 2. At halftime it was 15-12 to the Norwegian girls. – There is a lot of sloppiness. They score five goals against us. It’s too much. We have to weed that out, said Norway’s assistant coach Tonje Larsen to TV 2. Norway became European champion just before Christmas after victory over Denmark in the final. The private international matches against Montenegro were played at the same time as other teams’ nations have played qualification for the World Cup. Norway is already ready for the next World Cup finals. Thursday’s match in Ørsta ended 34-25 to the Norwegian team. (NTB)
