Another easy points for the world champion

Spain - Macedonia 29:17 (12:8)

The "early birds" from Spain overran the Macedonians at lunch time. Following the 24:17 in the first leg, the world champions punished Macedonia even harder and secured – as the first team, taking aside the directly qualified hosts from Denmark - the qualification for the EHF EURO 2014. Compared to the first leg, the Macedonians were quite close at the break, but then only scored nine goals in the second half. Courtesy of six consecutive goals that increased the gap from 16:12 to 22:12, the Spaniards could decide the match in favour several minutes before the final whistle. The biggest gap was 12 goals at 27:15, but the Macedonian resistance had been broken much earlier. Left wing Valero Rivera jun, son of the head coach, with seven goals and powerful back court ace, Jorge Maqueda, (6 goals from seven attempts) were the Spanish top scorers, while Goce Ojlevski scored four for Macedonia.
