Lucas Pellas seized the opportunity when Hampus Wanne was allowed to rest.
And Andreas Palicka’s wall-like intrusion wiped out all possible Chilean hopes of barking.
Two individual efforts that paved the way for Sweden’s second victory at this year’s Handball World Cup, with a total of 41-26 against Chile.
After the clear victory against North Macedonia in the premiere, Sweden made two changes to the starting line-up before Saturday’s meeting with Chile.
Mikael Aggefors in goal. And perhaps especially Lucas Pellas from Montpellier in the left sex, instead of the main successor Hampus Wanne, who scored eleven of the goals against North Macedonia.
Pellas? He thanked and accepted the trust.
When Sweden started the offensive cylinders directly against Chile, Pellas scored five of 20 goals in the first half. The first with a beautiful and patented lobby, which set the tone for the 25-year soiree on the left wing in Cairo.
– It is approved, 20 goals ahead. There seems to be a bit more to pick up both ways, Pellas says after the first half to Viasat.
Twitched in the second half
It was even more rocking in the opposite direction, because at the same time that Sweden scored 20, Chile scored 16 during a goal-rich first half.
The half that goalkeeper Andreas Palicka saw from the substitute bench.
– Start the first five very well. Run a lot. So we lose our concept and start complaining too much. We fall into their whining a bit, we start to see decisions, we get stressed in situations … They took us where they wanted for 25 minutes, says the doorman to Viasat.
A goalkeeper who played an important role in stabilizing the defense in the second half.
Palicka stepped in and defended one stop after another early in the second half, allowing a Swedish jerk to take a nine-goal lead.
– Second part, we focus on ourselves for 30 minutes and then we win, says the goalkeeper.
Comfortable victory
Although an effective Chilean time-out, followed by three straight South American goals, rekindled the tension, Chile never came closer than that.
Sweden? They would collect more goals.
When the final whistle sounded, he was 41-26 on the scoreboard and Lucas Pellas had accumulated 12 goals on his personal tally (more than Wanne last time). But above all, Sweden had achieved their second of two possible victories in the group stage of the World Cup.
– A lot of running, a lot of creativity and good with the goals plus, says the former captain of the national team Kristjan Andrésson in the Viasat study.
In the next game on Monday, Sweden will face host Egypt.
– All in all, Palicka says briefly about the tactics that await them then.
