In the final minutes, Sävehof first had to play six against four and then six against five and with 17 seconds left, Nina Koppang rushed through the central defense and put 29-28 high in front of a standing audience in Partille Arena, it was a match where it was difficult to sit left on the benches.
The world team Crimea Mercator from Ljubljana in Slovenia took a timeout to get a draw.
Instead, the match's giant Jamina Roberts stole the ball and lying on the floor, the victory celebration began.
Roberts, part of the all-star team in the Olympics, stood out and put ten balls in the net and was a spider in the defensive work.
"A receipt that we can"
- This is a proof that we can and shows that we can do a good performance against all teams, which we will benefit from in SHE, says Jamina Roberts to Viaplay.
She had a nice radar partner in Nina Koppang who scored six goals and was the one who broke Sävehof's zero when she got the ball donated after 10.50 and completely free with the goalkeeper put 1-4.
- It is a dream to play at this level, says Koppang who started and finished for Sävehof.
- Koppang is completely ill, praises Roberts.
Roberts one of the best in the world
It was a proud coach who was torn between hope and despair.
For long periods of the match, Crimea was in the driver's seat.
- I am extremely proud that we were able to play a match at this level.
I'm so relieved, says the Danish coach Rasmus Overby and shares his thoughts about Roberts.
- An entire handball world knows what Roberts can do.
She is perhaps one of the world's best players, if not the best, reflects Overby.
On Wednesday, the premiere of SHE with the Sävehof-Skuru summit.
The big dominant in the last 15 years against the Swedish champions from this spring.
