Not for a moment was Spain’s victory in danger. After the first quarter the hosts were leading in Valencia 27:12, and after the first half 45:21. In the second part games they played even better and finished the game with 53 points advantage over Romanians! Spaniards they could have been irritated by their recent defeat to Israel and hence such a good performance by them. A performance that our representation can also enjoy.

The Spaniards played for Poland
After this win, the Spaniards are in third place in the qualifying group A behind Israel and Poland. Romanians are in the last fourth position and have only illusory chances of being promoted to the European Championship.
