The home team started at full throttle, reaching an 8:3 run. However, the turn came through goalkeeper Matevz Skok. In a counterattack that would have provided the 9:3 scoreline, the Slovenian athlete made a great save. Followed by many others. And then began the comeback of the lions that reached the half-time in front.

However, handball is not how it starts, but how it ends. And Kadetten had enough insight to go after the momentum and beat the Portuguese team by two.
