KUMAMOTO (Ekstra Bladet): Denmark played as champions – in five minutes …

Sandra Toft was again, as if she had landed from a distant planet in order to show how to do that. The defense sled and dragged. But the offensive team had huge problems getting the ball in the box.

Norway won søsteropgøret 22-19 after the lead of 12-9 at the break.

It was otherwise a Danish raketstart of dimensions. Lotte Grigel controlled the troops, Sandra Toft took enough time from the target, and you sat down and subterfuge in the arm, when his gaze fell on the måltavlerne in the hall. Terrific 5-0 to Denmark.

Denmark led 7-2 made no mistakes, threw no balls away, and that was hammered scores in versus, on the shot from the line, and on penalties. It all sat in the cupboard, but then woke up jenterne to the deed.

The Danish players could neither find openings or cracks in the Norwegian defensive, and slowly ate the norwegians, the Danish lead.

Denmark relax almost completely at 8-4, and suddenly it was turned on and down on, who was the leading and the jagtende.

But it would be even worse!

Klavs Bruun’s troops led for the last time at 9-6 and were round shaved before the break. 9-12! Denmark scored just one measly goal in the last 16 minutes of the half time.

To the team at all was with in the fight – in each case measured on the digits – players can thank a once awesome Sandra Toft for. Nine big saves alone in the break, she nibbled bl.a. Heidi Løke and Stine Bredal cultural life in the free contras.

But what helps a good goalkeeper, when the shooters couldn’t hit the spot. Stine Jørgensen was absolutely beside herself, and shoots sat at least several meters from the goal. Sandra Toft was on the field during the break to keep themselves warm, and she was furious. Threw detoured a water bottle towards the bench and talked with his partner Althea Reinhardt.

Nine technical errors in 30 minutes. Again! It even looked so good from the start, but you must promise that the team turned quickly back to reality on a day, when it became clear that, thanks to Germany’s victory over Netherlands, Denmark ‘just’ winning its three matches in the mellemrunden to be semifinaleklar.

The dream can be packed in suitcases as the first. Denmark is last in the group before the next two matches. In turn, however, there’s probably a few days before the tinkling cowbells coming out of ears again…

Lotte Grigel was shortly before the break and shown to lead an irritated arm at the snout of Heidi Løke, who had to leave the battle field heavily bleeding.

After the 18-minute scoringspause reduced Lotte Grigel in the beginning of the second half to 10-13 …

But they found themselves again and much of the credit for it. Sandra Toft continued to pick the Norwegian missiles. Denmark went behind 11-15, but dragged on 13-15, 15-16, and 16-17, but that was burned, every time the team had the chance to go on equal – even the one overtalssituation saved Norway 0-0 out of.

Denmark slap first taken in Norway, since 19-20 was 19-22. Ballet was over!

They shook Norway, they had the chance. But wasted it. Instead of playing up on the third place in the pool, Denmark is now the closers!
