Hungary 24-26. “Tricolors”, no points in the European Championship

Romania started the pride duel with Hungary on the note of the last matches. The “tricolores” were directed from the second minute, managing to balance the game only at the end of the first half. The key to the return was represented by the interventions of Denisa Dedu. Cristina Neagu also had a good hand, while center Lorena Ostase synchronized excellently with Cristina Laslo. After a fierce fight, Romania took the lead at the break, with a score of 14-13. It was the first match of this final phase.

After the break, unforced errors reappeared in Romania’s game. Hungary went ahead, but the interventions of Ana Măzăreanu, the third goalkeeper, and the confident hand of center Lorena Ostase made the final exciting. Everything broke in the last 5 minutes. The rivals scored two lucky goals, with deflected balls, and the “tricolor” were left without inspiration.
