The handball team loses the kick-off in the opening of the Asian Championship
The national handball team suffered a surprising loss against its Iraqi counterpart, by a goal difference and with a result of "31-32", in the match that brought them together today in Dammam City Hall for the third group in the opening of the Asian Championship for men's teams, hosted by Saudi Arabia until the 31st of this month, which qualifies for World Cup 2023 in Sweden and Denmark.
The national team missed the opportunity to end the first half with a goal difference and a result of "15-14", after it paid a heavy tax to rush its players to end the attacks, which gave the "Lions of Mesopotamia" the advantage in the second half and decided the outcome of the match in their favour, "32-31".
The "White" hand will continue at three o'clock tomorrow, Wednesday, its matches in the group league, by meeting its Omani counterpart, in a confrontation bearing the title of compensation for both teams, especially after the Omani team lost in its first confrontation in the tournament against the Qatari team with a score of 14-31.
