Não sabemos se conseguiremos o apuramento para a próxima grande competição que se avizinha, mas sei que se nos ajudarmos uns aos outros será possível. É preciso energia positiva e sobretudo acreditar que com esta geração de atletas podemos voltar a estar junto dos melhores como estivemos num passado recente.
Parabéns ao Rolando Freitas e a toda a equipa técnica por nos fazerem sentir que se pode voltar a chegar onde todos queremos estar.
Forte abraço a todos e muita sorte!
Group 1: Portugal vs. Switzerland 27:25 (14:14)
Switzerland tried everything, but in the end the team of coach Goran Perkovac had to cope with the fact that it is out of the race for the EHF EURO 2014 qualification.
Portugal, on the other hand, are in a perfect position with five points in their account, two points ahead of FYR Macedonia.
The first half was completely equal, as no team managed to forge ahead by more than one goal.
But like during the 26-all in the first leg, Switzerland improved, and powered to 21:17 in the 40th minute. But four straight Portuguese goals later on first levelled the match and then saw them leading 25:24.
Finally a double penalty strike by Portuguese top scorer Silva Osorio Silva (overall five goals) to make it 27:25 decided the match.
