Macedonia win big match in Zurich

Switzerland - Macedonia 22:27 (11:12)

Macedonia did everything they could to keep their hopes alive for a spot at the EHF EURO 2014 in Denmark. With four points in their account, the team of coach Ivica Obrvan might still be in the race before they host Portugal in the final match on Sunday (16 June). Switzerland, which had been eliminated already before the match, still wait for their first victory in this qualification.

Backed by more than 500 vociferous spectators in Zurich, FYR Macedonia needed a long time to decide the match in their favour. Following a close first half, it were the eight goals of Naumce Mojsovski and the six strikes of Kiril Lazarov that made them celebrate in the end. Switzerland, boosted by the saves of goalkeeper Remo Quadrelli, tried to fight back, and reduced the gap from 15:20 to 21:24 in the 57th minute, but in the end the bigger Macedonian experience decided the match.
