Spain women's handball team defeats Germany in Granollers
Spain's women's national handball team secured a 35-30 victory against Germany in their second friendly match held at the Palau d’Esports in Granollers. The win serves as a key preparation step for the upcoming European Championship scheduled for December.
Danila So Delgado led the Spanish offense with 10 goals, proving difficult for the German defense to contain. Spain demonstrated improved defensive intensity and better ball control compared to their previous encounter, which Germany had won 31-29.
Germany, the reigning world runner-up, suffered its first defeat of the year. Despite Viola Leuchter scoring five goals, German coach Markus Gaugisch described the performance as a “wake-up call,” noting deficiencies in both offensive and defensive coordination. The loss highlights ongoing challenges for the German squad as they prepare for the European tournament.
