Germany and Sweden had easy tasks to outplay South American teams in their matches of Sunday’s programm at IHF World Championship in France. Although it was expected that reigning European champions, Germans, had no worries against Chile 35:14 (Andreas Wolff saved 16 balls, Kochlbacher), rampant Swedish performance over always dangerous Argentina 35:17 (16:11) surprised everyone.
Chile – Germany 14:35 (6:17)
Chile: Oliva, Barrientos – Em. Feuchtmann (2), Frelijj (2), Moll (2), E. Salinas (2), Donoso (1), Erw. Feuchtmann (1), H. Feuchtmann (1), R. Salinas (1), Lopez (1), Reyes (1/1)

Scandinavians with the new coach Andresson had a lot to offer, especially defensively in the first two matches of the tournament. They put “Gauchos” only on six goals in the second half. The TOP scorer was Zachrisson with eight goals, while Palicka had a good role between the posts with 11 saves. On the other side, Sebastian Simonet netted five goals.
