The final matches on the first night of round 5 of the EHF EURO 2024 Qualifiers saw wins for the Netherlands and North Macedonia, with neither match confirming a berth at the final tournament. However, they were important wins, as the Netherlands are locked in tight race in group 5 while North Macedonia are fighting for one of group 1’s remaining places. The two points from Wednesday’s encounters were therefore very valuable for the victors.
