Brazil loses to Spain and remains without a win in men’s handball | olympics

The second half started at a less intense pace, but Spain maintained a slight superiority and an advantage around three points. With Ferrugem appearing well in important moments, Brazil managed to hold their rivals for most of the period but lost strength in attack, reaching almost 10 minutes without scoring. On minute 23, Thiagus Petrus managed to reduce Spain’s lead to 26-24, but in the sequence the Brazilian team wasted some opportunities to lean more on the scoreboard and paid dearly. The rivals opened eight goals ahead with less than two minutes from the end of the match and confirmed the victory by 32 to 25.
