The weakened and therefore inexperienced German national handball team has won the second win in the second game at the European Championship. On Sunday she beat Austria in front of almost 1500 spectators in Bratislava with 34:29 (15:16) and now leads group D. Last preliminary round opponent on Tuesday is Poland. The German team, which had to play without the backcourt player Julius Kühn, who tested positive for Corona, struggled against the Austrians in the first half, but turned the game around in the second half – mainly thanks to a strong goalkeeper Till Klimpke and one against the first 30 minutes improved defensive. The best German thrower was right winger Timo Kastening with nine goals.
