Sweden clinched their third medal in four editions of the Men’s EHF EURO when they recorded a 34:31 victory over Germany in the bronze medal match in Cologne on Sunday afternoon.
An enormous performance from Sweden goalkeeper Andreas Palicka was decisive in the first half, as he made 14 saves at a rate of 53.9% in that period to give his side’s attack every chance to open a clear gap. Sweden are the record title holders (5) at the Men’s EHF EURO but had taken only one other medal prior to Sunday: silver in 2018. They had played for third once before, way back in 1996, when they were defeated by Yugoslavia. Overall, the bronze won in Cologne was Sweden’s seventh medal at the EHF EURO and third since 2018.
