The Swedish advancement to the semi-finals in the handball EC was secured before Tuesday evening's main round meeting with Norway, which ended with a Norwegian crush.

33-23.

- I think we go into the match with an attitude that is not OK, says Jim Gottfridsson to Viaplay.

Both the goalkeeper Andreas Palicka and the left junior Jonathan Carlsbogård sat in the stands in the match.

And from there they got to see Albin Lagergren, Sweden's fourth best scorer in the championship, break the game early in the first half.

Högernian sat on the bench, looked a little tormented and received treatment from a physiotherapist.

Afterwards he seemed to move quite freely.

- It's probably a cramp, shouldn't be any danger, says the National Handball team's press manager Niclas Green.

Sweden lost two matches in the main round, against group winner Denmark and eliminated Norway.

Now Sweden will face France in the EC semi-final on Friday.
