Here is the opinion of EHF journalist Danijela Vekić after the first half in Ljubljana: "With both teams have a shot of going into the main round of the EHF EURO 2022, it is no surprise both are pushing hard on the court. Switzerland had a good start to the match with a strong transformative defence that made Croatia sweat and pushed them into the lead for 10 minutes. Without Valentina Blazevic in the centre back position (due to an injury), Stela Posavec stepped into Blazevic's shoes and brought a two-goal lead in the 15th minute.
The Hungarian fans are loudly cheering for their team who are now trailing by two. Hungary had a dream start to the match leaving the defending champions without a goal for seven minutes. Norway were down for almost 20 minutes not being able to impose their rhythm on the opponent. The Hungarian side took what was offered and a close game delivered additional energy to Vlagyimir Golovin's team. A strong defence is what both sides have, while attacking efficiency is the point both will need to work on in the second half.
