From the excitement of Dusseldorf to the vastness of Berlin. Four days after the success in the opening match against Macedonia (39-29), the French team suffered a lot this Sunday, January 14, against Switzerland (26-26).
Totally dominated by the Germans during their first match (14-27), the Helvetians caused a lot of trouble for Trikola, keeping their goalkeeper Nikola Pörtner on fire. Valiant, Switzerland never trailed by more than four goals in this incredible match. She also had a match point when Melvin Richardson did not convert a 7m throw a minute from the final whistle. But the Helvetians didn’t score, settling for a draw that looked like a victory for them. For the French, it is a shock.
