Handball: too many errors in Bucharest

After beating Romania on Thursday, the Faroese national handball team suffered a crushing 25-17 defeat yesterday in the return leg of the game.

The Faroese team started out fairly well, but the Romanians had built up a four-goal lead by half-time.

And things did not improve in the second half.

“Our players were simply too ineffective in front of the Romanian goal,” said commentator Ingi Olsen.

As in Thursday’s game, Hákun West av Teigum was the top scorer for the Faroese team, with four goals.

Next up is a home game against Ukraine on 26 April. All tickets for this game sold out within a few hours of Thursday’s win against Romania.
