Day of defeats for the South American teams that are competing in the IHF Junior Women’s World Championship Slovenia 2022. While Chile had a free date, Argentina and Brazil had to face the second duel of the preliminary phase.
In the Dvorana Golovec Celje arena, Argentina faced Montenegro, a team known for its great performance in the world handball, in a match that remained very even throughout the first half.
However, in the second half of the match, the albicelestes could not keep up with the European team and fell 20-31. Thus, Argentina stays in the 3rd place of Group C and must look for a triumph to think about the next phase.
Minutes later, Brazil played in the same arena against Norway, in a match they could not dominate, so the Nordics closed the score at 32-24. For now, the Cariocas have two defeats and must win their last game of the preliminary phase to have options to qualify to the Main Round.
