Norway lost to Croatia

Norway lost to Croatia
Norway's men lost its bid for a place in the Handball Euro 208 semifinals, when it only managed a 23-23 draw against ruling Olympic champions Croatia in Stavanger Thursday evening.



Croatia captured the fourth and final semi final place after a thriller of a match against host nation Norway.

Norway were in the lead for most of the match but in the second half Croatia took advantage of the Norwegians' poor shooting and took the initiative in the match.

However, Glenn Solberg equalized for Norway with only two seconds left.

Norway will now meet Sweden to fight for the fifth place in the tournament. But Norway has already qualified for the Olympic games.
