Nine Swedish Goal Scorer Until Pause
In the last ten minutes before the break, Spain was always better able to do better and over the outside and the circle in good litter positions. Through a 4: 1 run, the Iberer turned the spit and took a 13:12 in the cabin. A field player could not chap with Sweden, the twelve hits were distributed to nine different professionals (including Keeper Palicka). The German referee Robert Schulze and Tobias Tönnies had left a strong and unerring impression.
After the sideway, the game was extremely tight and competitive, Spain often presented, Sweden moved right after (17:17, 39.). Both teams completed again and again successfully over the circle. Palicka - Later "Man of the Match" - decided the goalkeeper duel with eleven parades clearly for himself.
