Flensburg were already clear group winners and it was played for who would come second and third.
The Skåne had a very tough start to the match and could afford to lose by a two-goal margin.
After the first half, Icelandic Valur led by eight balls, 21-13, and Ystad had difficulty getting a hold of the game.
- What I feel is incredible frustration.
We think we can only wiggle our ass a little, we're not quite there, says a frustrated Ystads player in Kim Andersson at halftime to Viasat.
Oscar Carlén, Ystad's coach, was on the same track.
- I want to see a team that does not hesitate, we have to take it slowly and there is no stress, he says.
Pulled up in others
And so it became.
In the second half, Ystad rose considerably and began to bite more and more into the Icelanders.
Kim Andersson, the former Swedish national team player, stepped forward and secured second place to Ystad after only losing 33-35.
- I am happy about the promotion we are making.
We wanted to go into the second half and show what we stand for, and I think we did, says coach Carlén after the match.
Ystad will thus face the Swiss Kadetten Schaffhausen in the round of 16 on March 21 and 28.
