Men's Hand EB: Iceland found itself and defeated Portugal. After two defeats, Iceland won EB battle versus Portugal in the semi-finals of the Austrian, Norwegian and Swedish European Handball Championships, including the Hungarian national team.
In the semi-finals, Iceland without a point has already met Portugal with two big scalps in the tournament. The northern people were very absorbed in this meeting (they also played a key role in qualifying for the qualifiers) and opened accordingly with a 7-1 series. At the gate, Björgvin Gústavsson presented several great defenses, and the Portuguese could only think once in twelve minutes. It was a bad thing for Iceland that the leg of Aron Palmarsson, formerly of Veszprém, had to be cared for and could only come back in half-time. Meanwhile, his team's offensive play stopped, and the Lucians, who were constantly on the lookout for the ideal line-up, closed to 11-10, but Iceland took a two-goal lead (12-14).

In the second half, the Portuguese reintroduced one of their big guns, the offensive game with seven field players, taking the lead for the first time (17-16). The Icelanders had more good individual performances, as well as Gústavsson in the second inning as well as Palmarsson, but also Janus Smárason and two "veterans", Gudjon Valur Sigurdsson and Alexander Petersson, who was selected as the best of the match. Meanwhile, the Portuguese were forced to stop with no goalkeepers because they made more mistakes than usual.
Iceland took back the lead at the turning point, but the final 12 minutes came in 22-22 thanks in part to the Portuguese goalkeeper Alfredo Quintana. However, the Palmsson did not let go of the victory, and in the 59th minute a Portuguese exhibition finally decided the two points. Sigurdsson set the final score of 28-25, and Iceland scored Portugal.
